97. Procedure on forfeiture of ship
Where any ship has, either wholly or as to any share therein, become subject to forfeiture under this Act the ship may be seized and detained in accordance with the provisions of section 459 and brought for adjudication before the High Court and the Court may thereupon order the ship and its equipment to be forfeited to the Government, and make such order in the case as the Court seems just, and may award to the officer bringing in the ship for adjudication such portion of the proceeds of the sale of the ship, or any share therein, as the Court thinks fit.
