The authority to whom an application is made under rule 137 may, after hearing the parties and making such further inquiry as it thinks fit, grant permission to make the improvement subject to such restrictions, if any, as it may deem reasonable or may refuse permission altogether provided that the authority— (i) shall not grant permission for a work which diminishes the value of any other holding unless all the person interested in such other holding agree in writing there and (ii) may refuse permission if the raiyat is prepared to make the improvement within a time fixed by the competent authority and may order that if the improvement is not so made the applicant shall be entitled to make it himself.
