27. Time to be allowed for suit by claimant

If upon an enquiry made under section 26 the District Officer has reason to believe that the treasure trove was hidden within 50 years before the date of the discovering, by a person appearing as required by the said notification and claiming such treasure trove, or by some other person under whom such person claims, the District Officer shall make an order adjourning the hearing of the case for such period as he deems sufficient to allow of the suit being instituted in a court of competent jurisdiction by the claimant to establish his right.
