Any district shall have the power to condemn any land, easements, or rights of way either on, under or above the ground as the board may deem necessary for any of the purposes mentioned in this article, and such property or interest in such property may be so acquired whether or not the same is owned or held for public use by corporations, associations or persons having the power of eminent domain, or otherwise held or used for public purposes. Such power of condemnation may be exercised in the mode or method of procedure prescribed by Chapter 27 of Title 11, Mississippi Code of 1972, or in the mode or method or procedure prescribed by any other applicable statutory provisions now in force or hereafter enacted for the exercise of the power of eminent domain. Where condemnation proceedings become necessary the judge of the circuit court in which such proceedings are filed shall upon application of the district and upon the deposit in the court, to the use of the person or persons lawfully entitled thereto, of such an amount as the judge may deem necessary to assure just compensation, order that the right of possession shall issue immediately or as soon and upon such terms as the judge in his discretion, may deem proper and just. Upon application of the parties in interest, the judge may order that the money deposited in the court, or any part thereof, be paid forthwith for or on account of the just compensation to be awarded in said proceedings.
