119 Jurisdiction of land board not to be ousted in certain cases

(2) However, the local land board before which the proceedings are brought may transfer the application to a local land board that may more appropriately hear the application.

(3) On receiving an application transferred to it under this section, a local land board must hear and determine the application.
