Section 30

Every officer seizing any property under this section shall place on such property, a mark or label indicating that it has been so seized and shall, without undue delay, make a report of such seizure to a Magistrate having jurisdiction to try the offence on account of which the seizure has been made:

Provided that, in any case where such property has been seized in connection with an offence dealt with under any regulations made under section 37(1) or committed by some person unknown or who cannot be found, it shall not be necessary to report to a Magistrate the seizure thereof and such property shall be taken possession of by the park officer who may after the expiration of one month, from the date of seizure thereof, dispose of the property in such manner as he shall think fit unless the property is subject to speedy or natural decay, in which case a Chief Park Warden may order its disposal immediately.

24

When possession is taken of any property of a person which is unknown or who cannot be found under subsection (2), the park officer so taking possession shall either cause a notice thereof to be served upon any person whom he has reason to suspect to be interested in the property, or publish such notice in any way he thinks fit.
