  85.Release, sale and restoration of attached property.-
  (1) If the proclaimed person appears within
  
  the time specified in the proclamation, the Court shall make an order releasing
  
  the property from the attachment.
  (2) If the proclaimed person does not appear within the time specified in the
  
  proclamation, the property under the attachment shall be at the disposal of the
  
  State Government; but it shall not be sold until the expiration of six months
  
  from the date of the attachment and until any claim preferred or objection made
  
  under section 84 has been disposed of under that section, unless it is subject
  
  to speedy and natural decay, or the Court considers that the sale would be for
  
  the benefit of the owner; in either of which cases the Court may cause it to be
  
  sold whenever it thinks fit.
  (3) If, within two years from the date of the attachment, any person whose
  
  property is or has been at the disposal of the State Government, under
  
  sub-section (2), appears voluntarily or is apprehended and brought before the
  
  Court by whose order the property was attached, or the Court to which such
  
  Court is subordinate, and proves to the satisfaction of such Court that he did
  
  not abscond or conceal himself for the purpose of avoiding execution of the
  
  warrant, and that he had not such notice of the proclamation as to enable him
  
  to attend within the time specified therein such property, or, if the same has
  
  been sold, the net proceeds of the sale, or, if part only thereof has been
  
  sold, the net proceeds of the sale, and the residue of the property, shall,
  
  after satisfying there from all costs incurred in consequence of the
  
  attachment, be delivered to him.
