Disinfection of buildings and articles.- (1) If the Commissioner is of opinion that the cleansing or disinfecting of a building or of any part thereof, or of any article therein, which is likely to retain infection, shall tend to prevent or check the spread of any dangerous disease, he may by notice, require the khatadar or occupier to cleanse or disinfect the same, in the manner and within the time specified in such notice. (2) The khatadar or occupier shall, within the time specified as aforesaid, comply with the terms of the notice. (3) If the Commissioner considers that immediate action is necessary, or that the khatadar or occupier is, by reason of poverty or otherwise, unable effectually to comply with his requisition, the Commissioner may himself without notice cause such buildings, or article to be cleansed or disinfected, and for this purpose may cause such article to be removed from the building or premises; and the expenses incurred by the Commissioner or health officer shall be recoverable from the said khatadar or occupier. Provided that, such an action shall not be necessitated if the same is caused due to poverty of such khatadar or occupier.
