Upon the payment of any compensation, the execution of any agreement or the making of any reference under section 31, the Governor may forthwith enter upon, occupy and use the land, and may further permit and direct the occupation and use thereof by such persons and in such manner as he may deem necessary for the public purpose for which the land is occupied.
Upon the expiration of the term for which any land has been occupied and used under this Part, the Governor shall make or tender to the persons interested in the land compensation for the damage, if any, done to the land and not provided for by the agreement, and shall restore the land to the persons interested therein.
Where any land occupied and used for any term by the Governor under this Part has by reason of such occupation and use become permanently unfit for the purpose for which it was used immediately before the commencement of such term, the Government, if the persons interested in the land so require, shall proceed under this Law to acquire the land as if it were needed permanently for a public purpose.
Where the Governor and persons interested in the land differ as to the condition of the land at the expiration of the term, or as to any matter connected with the said agreement, the Governor shall refer such difference for the decision of the Court.
