The role of the Government of India or the Government of a State with respect to possession or control over any property at the date when it would have so accrued to His Majesty or to the Ruler of an Indian State is that they shall determine whether the property was used or held for purposes of the Union or of a State. Accordingly, if the property was used or held for Union purposes, it will vest in the Union; otherwise, it will vest in the State.
