Whenever, upon the audit or adjudication of the final account of the secretary in possession of an institution as receiver, there shall be and remain in his possession any dividends which shall have been awarded to any depositor or other creditor the whereabouts of whom or of whose legal representatives the secretary has been unable to ascertain, or any dividends which otherwise are by law escheatable to the Commonwealth, he shall file in the court the sworn statement required by law, and shall thereupon pay the dividends into the State Treasury, through the Department of Revenue, in accordance with the provisions of law, such moneys to be subject to refund to any corporation or person entitled thereto, pursuant to the provisions of law.
This section shall not be construed to relieve the secretary of any of the duties with respect to such unclaimed or escheatable dividends imposed by law, to the extent applicable, upon any receiver appointed by any court within this Commonwealth.
