of Government on the lands, and requiring him to attend either in person
or by vakeel, within the period of one month, and to produce all sunnuds,
or other writings, in virtue of which he may possess the lands, or under
which they may have been, or may be claimed to be held free of assess-
ment, or at a fixed jumma.
If the persons whose lands it is proposed to assess have an
accredited agent at the sudder station, with general powers to act for his
principal, the notice to be issued under the preceding clause shall be ten-
dered to such agent, to be communicated by him to his principal, and the
agent's acknowledgment to be endorsed upon it shall be accepted as a suffi-
cient service of it, if he be desirous of giving such acknowledgment in
preference to the notice being served on the person of his principal bv a
chupprassy, or peon of the collector.
If the person, the revenue of whose lands it is proposed to
resume, shall not have an accredited agent at the sudder station of the
description above mentioned, or if such agent shall decline receiving the
notice for communication to his constituent, and the defendant be resident
within the collectorship, it shall be served on him through the nazir of the
collector by a single chupprassy, or peon, who shall require the acknow-
ledgment of the party to be endorsed upon it, or, if he be absent from
his usual place of residence, the acknowledgment of his principal agent,
or of any person acting for him during his absence. If the party be resi-
dent within the jurisdiction of any other collectorship than that in which
the lands proposed to be assessed are situated, the notice shall be trans-
mitted to the collector of the district in which the party may reside, to be
served in the manner above directed. If the party be neither resident
within the collectorship in which the lands in question may be situated,
nor in any other collectorship, the notice shall be served upon his agent or
representative in charge of the lands.
AV/M. Provided always, that if any party or his agent in charge of
his land, on whom a notice may be served in the manner above prescribed,
shall refuse to acknowledge the receipt of it when required by the person
serving it, the tender of the notice to such party or his agent shall be
taken for a sufhcient service; such tender to be proved by the evidence
of two persons residing on the lands, or in the nearest village.
AVybL The collector shall, in the notice summoning the party, warn
him, that if he withhold any writings of the nature specified in the second
clause of this section, within the period prescribed, they will not afterwards
be received, unless he shall show good and sufficient cause for not pro-
ducing them, and shall assign such cause on his appearing before him.
