Generally, it can be claimed that the Act is being administered with a minimum of friction and inconvenience to the applicants, and this has been made possible only by the sympathetic attitude and conscientious work of the Committees and the Court officers in the various registries working under pressure of understaffing on account of the prevailing war conditions. Appended are tables showing the number of applications filed to 31st March, 1944, and how they have been dealt with, the number of cases where consent has been granted subject to a reduction in the consideration, and the number of appeals lodged and how they have been disposed of.
