Clause 40

On making an award under section 10 of this Act, the Collector shall make a written offer of the compensation awarded by him to the persons interested entitled thereto according to the award, and shall pay it to them unless prevented by one or more of the contingencies mentioned in subsection (2) of this section.

If they do not consent to receive it, or if there be no person competent to alienate the land, or if there be any dispute as to the title to receive the compensation or as to the apportionment of it, or if possession of the land has not been taken by the Collector, the Collector shall apply to the Registrar of the court ex parte by summons in chambers supported by affidavit for an order to deposit the amount of the compensation in court, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the rules of court for the time being in force, the Registrar shall have power to make such order:Provided that any person admitted to be interested may receive such payment under protest as to the sufficiency of the amount:Provided also that no person who has received the amount otherwise than under protest shall be entitled to appeal to the Board under the provisions of section 23 of this Act:Provided also that nothing herein contained shall affect the liability of any person, who may receive the whole or any part of any compensation awarded under this Act, to pay the same to the person lawfully entitled thereto.

Notwithstanding anything in this section, the Collector, instead of awarding a money compensation in respect of any land, may enter into any arrangement with a person having a limited interest therein in such a way as may be equitable having regard to the interests of the parties concerned.
