Whenever twenty-five per cent (25%) of the landowners owning a majority of the acreage of any drainage district organized under any of the laws of the State of Mississippi desire to have the same dissolved and its affairs wound up, the chancery court in which said district was organized, or the chancery court of the county in which the lands of said district are located, or the chancellor of either of said courts in vacation shall be authorized to enter an order or decree directing that the affairs of the same be wound up and that said districts be dissolved on such terms as the court or chancellor in vacation might deem meet and proper, (a) whenever it shall be made to appear to the court or chancellor in vacation in any proceeding filed for said purpose that said drainage district does not have any outstanding indebtedness, bonded or otherwise, or (b) in the event it does have an outstanding indebtedness, bonded or otherwise, but owns easements, rights of way, drains, canals, ditches, or other property which said district can sell for an amount equal to its fair cash market value which will be sufficient, or when added to any other funds of the district will be sufficient, to enable it to pay off and discharge all of its outstanding indebtedness, bonded or otherwise.
