Section:
Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act (XXVIII of 1958)----- ------S. 29-"Order of ejectment"-Person in Possession protected against order passed only by Rehabilitation authority. In the entire context of the Displaced Persons (Compensation: and Rehabilitation) Act, 1958, the expression "order of ejectment." clearly indicates that the person in possession is protected against only an order passed by an authority having the power to make it in respect of evacuee property.
