Notice requirement for benami property: civil suits barred unless prescribed notice is given to the Commissioner. Claimants alleging to be real owners of benami property were required to give prescribed notice with prescribed particulars to the Commissioner as a precondition to instituting suit; the Commissioner was empowered, on application and payment of fees, to issue certified copies of such notices for use in litigation. The section included exceptions for low value suits tried by courts of small causes and contained deemed compliance provisions for certain prior acquisitions, and was later repealed by subsequent legislation.
