If an executor or administrator neglects or refuses to return the inventory within the time prescribed, or within such further time, not exceeding two (2) months, as the judge shall, for a reasonable cause allow, the court may, upon notice, revoke the letters testamentary or of administration, and the executor or administrator is liable on his bond for any injury to the estate, or any person interested therein, arising from such failure.
