Section 62: Disposal of unclaimed goods on railway

(1) When any goods have come into the possession of the Corporation for carriage or otherwise and are not claimed by the owner or other person appearing to the Corporation to be entitled thereto, the Corporation may, in the case of perishable goods, sell such goods at any time by public auction or after calling for tenders for the purchase thereof, and in the case of other goods shall, if such owner or person is known, cause a notice to be served upon him, requiring him to remove the goods within two months from the date of such notice.
(2) If such person or owner is not known, or the notice cannot be served upon him, or he does not comply with the requisition in the notice, the Corporation may sell the goods by public auction or after calling for tenders for the purchase thereof and shall render the surplus, if any, of the proceeds of the sale to any person entitled thereto.
