REGULATION 8.—REJECTION AND REPOSSESSION.

(1) If an Impressment Officer or an officer in charge of a vehicle-collecting centre decides that an impressed motor-vehicle or any impressed equipment is to be returned to the owner or other person in whose hands it was impressed, or when the term of a hiring is about to end and not to be extended, the Impressment Officer or an officer in charge of a vehicle-collecting centre shall cause a notice to repossess in the form designated M.V.I.—4 in the First Schedule hereto to be served upon the last registered owner or person in whose hands the motor-vehicle or equipment was impressed, as the case may require, in the same manner as is hereinbefore provided for the service of warrants requiring the said owner or person aforesaid to cause delivery to be taken of the said motor-vehicle or equipment at the place named in such notice on the day and at the time specified therein.

(2) The last registered owner or other person as aforesaid shall, upon service of the said notice upon him, cause delivery to be taken according to the tenor thereof, and shall cause the said notice M.V.I.—4 to be surrendered to the person from whom he takes delivery.

(3) The exercise in respect of any motor-vehicle or equipment by the Impressment Officer or by an officer in charge of a vehicle-collecting centre of the powers conferred upon him by this regulation shall not be deemed to prejudice the power of the Impressment Officer again to impress or reject the same motor-vehicle or equipment.

REGULATION 9.—ENCUMBRANCERS.

(1) The Chief Impressment Officer may from time to time, if he thinks fit, cause to be published in the Gazette notice of any vehicle taken under these regulations, with name of owner, and particulars of type, make, chassis number and engine number, and a list of equipment taken, with such particulars thereof as in his opinion will serve to identify the same; such published notice shall be headed by a notice to encumbrancers of the taking in the form designated M.V.I.—8 in the First Schedule hereto.

(2) Any person having an interest in or who is an encumbrancer of any motor-vehicle or equipment included in such notice shall, within ten days from publication thereof in the Gazette as aforesaid, give written notice of his interest or encumbrance to the Chief Impressment Officer, and shall give in such notice explicit details of the nature of his interest or encumbrance and of the amount he claims to be due to him.

(3) No encumbrancer shall be relieved from observing the requirements of this regulation or be deemed to have acquired any rights to payment or otherwise to have his position improved by reason only of the fact that the registered owner or holder has given, pursuant to Regulation 6, notice in form M.V.I.—2 of any encumbrance.
