If, within two years from the date of the attachment, any person whose property is or has been at the disposal of the Government under section 10 appears voluntarily or is apprehended and brought before the court or arbitral tribunal by whose order the property was attached, and proves to the satisfaction of the court or arbitral tribunal that he did not abscond or conceal himself for the purpose of avoiding execution of the warrant, and that he had not such notice of the proclamation as to enable him to attend within the time specified therein, the property, or, if it has been sold, the net proceeds of the sale, or, if part only thereof has been sold, the net proceeds of the sale and the residue of the property, shall, after satisfying there out all costs incurred in consequence of the attachment, be delivered to him, if the Provincial Commissioner consents in writing to that course being taken.

Security from Sections of Tribesmen in Case of Blood Feud.

Reference of Disputes to Arbitral Tribunals.

13. (1) Where a Provincial Commissioner or District Commissioner is satisfied that a dispute exists which is likely to cause a blood feud or murder or manslaughter or mischief or a breach of the peace, he may, if he considers that the settlement thereof in the manner provided by this section will tend to prevent or terminate the consequences anticipated and if a suit is not pending in respect of the dispute, make an order in writing, stating the grounds of his being so satisfied, referring the dispute to an arbitral tribunal, and requiring the tribunal to come to a finding on the matters in dispute after making such inquiry as may be necessary and after hearing the parties.
