Section 42

The Authority shall pay the compensation determined by the Authority for the acquisition of a flat, house or building under section 38 or 40 to an owner or the legal personal representatives of a deceased owner or to both an owner or the legal personal representatives, as the case may be, and an interested person in such proportion as the Authority may decide or such amount as may be varied by the Minister on appeal and in the case where any party refuses to accept it or where there is a dispute between the parties to the proportion they are entitled to the compensation to be paid the Authority shall apply to the High Court ex parte by originating summons, supported by an affidavit, for an order to deposit the amount of the compensation or any part thereof in Court and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Rules of the Supreme Court for the time being in force, the High Court may make such an order.

The Authority may withhold any compensation payable in respect of any flat, house or building vested in the Authority under this Part to any person until the Authority has taken possession of that flat, house or building.[39I
