Sec. 72.35  Time of filing petition.

    A petition may be filed at any time prior to the sale or other 
disposition of the property or carrier involved pursuant to 
administrative forfeiture, but a petition in regard to property or a 
carrier which has already been sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to 
administrative forfeiture must be filed within three months from the 
date of sale, and must contain the proof defined in Sec. 72.34(b). 
Acquisition for official use is equivalent to sale so far as remission 
or mitigation of any forfeiture is concerned.
