Licences and written permissions.— (1) Wherever it is prescribed that the permission of the Commissioner is necessary for the doing of any act, under this Act, such permission shall unless it is otherwise expressly provided be in writing. (2) Every licence and written permission granted under this Act or under any rule or bye-law made thereunder shall be signed by the Commissioner and shall specify. (a) the date of the grant thereof; (b) the purpose and the period (if any) for which it is granted; (c) the restrictions and conditions (if any) subject to which it is granted; (d) the name of the person to whom it is granted; and (e) the tax or fee, if any, paid for the licence or written permission. (3) Except when it is in this Act, or in any rule or bye-law made thereunder, otherwise expressly provided, for every such licence or written permission a fee may be charged at such rate as may be fixed by the Corporation and such fee shall be payable by the person to whom the licence is granted. (4) Every person to whom a licence or permission has been granted shall produce it at all reasonable hours of inspection if required by the Commissioner or any officer authorised by him in this behalf. (5) Any licence or written permission granted under this Act, or under any rule or bye-law made thereunder may at any time be suspended or revoked by the Commissioner if any of its restrictions or conditions is infringed or evaded by the grantee, or if the grantee is convicted of a breach any of the provisions of this Act or of any rule or bye-law made thereunder in any matter to which such licence or permission relates. (6) When any such licence or written permission is suspended or revoked, or when the period for which the same was granted has expired, the Grantee shall, for all purposes of this Act or of any rule or bye-laws made thereunder, be deemed to be without a licence or written permission until such time whether within the said period or otherwise as the authority granting the same may 45[see] fit to cancel the order suspending or revoking the licence or written permission or until the licence or written permission is renewed, as the case may be. (7) Pending the receipt of orders on his application made before the expiry of a licence or permission, an applicant for the renewal of a licence or permission thereof shall be entitled to act as if it has been renewed. (8) The acceptance by or on behalf of the Commissioner of the fee or a licence or permission shall not entitle the person paying the fee to the licence or permission. (9) Every application for a licence or permit shall be addressed to the Commissioner. (10) Save in cases falling under sections 217 and 219 if the orders of the Commissioner on an application for a licence or permission which complies with the provisions of the foregoing sub-sections are not communicated to the applicant within six weeks from the date of receipt of the application by the Commissioner, the applicant may act as if the licence or permit had been granted for the year or for such shorter period as is --127-- mentioned in the application. (11) In every matter where the State Government or any of the instrumentality or agency of the State Government, desire to construct or erect or undertake or carry out any act for which a permission under this act is required, a certificate issued by the Secretary to the Government shall be taken as proof of the State Government undertaking such an act and the Commissioner shall issue the necessary permission in terms of this section.
