State of Bihar - Section

Section 51C in The Bengal Drainage Act, 1880

51C. Grant of certificate and effect thereof.

(1)Upon receiving any such application, the Collector may if he thinks fit, make a certificate as aforesaid.
(2)Every such certificate shall have the same effect as a certificate made under Section 7 of the said Public Demands Recovery Act, 1895; and the same notices shall be issued, and the same proceedings may be taken, with respect thereto, by the Certificate Officer, as in the case of a certificate made under that section.
(3)The person in whose favour any such certificate is made shall be deemed to be the decree-holder for the amount mentioned in the certificate, and the person against whom the certificate is made shall be deemed to be the judgement-debtor for the said amount; and all proceedings taken by the Certificate Officer for the recovery of such amount shall be taken at the instance of the first mentioned person and at his cost and on his responsibility, and not otherwise.
(4)If any person against whom any such certificate is made objects that the contribution or sums claiming by the person who applied for the certificate are not legally due, or exceed the sums which the applicant could recover from him in a Civil Court as being payable in respect of his individual interest in the land, and if the Certificate Officer considers there is probable ground for such objection, the Certificate Officer may modify the certificate or, if he thinks fit, cancel the certificate and leave the applicant to his claim in a Civil Court.
