19. If the Tribunal has reason to believe that a person against whom a warrant of arrest has been issued under section 8, has absconded, or is concealing himself, so that the warrant cannot be executed, it may- (a) send a report to a Magistrate having jurisdiction in the area where the person complained of ordinarily resides or has his property or is present, and the said Magistrate shall take proceedings under sections 87, 88 and 89 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898, in respect of the said person and his property as if the warrant were a warrant issued by the said Magistrate; or (b) by order notified in the official Gazette direct the said person to appear before it, at such place and within such period as may be specified in the order; and if the said person omits to comply with such direction, he shall, unless he proves that it was not possible for him to comply therewith and that he had at the first possible opportunity within the period sent information to the Tribunal of the reasons which rendered compliance therewith impossible and of his whereabouts, be deemed to have evaded compliance with the order.
