regarding execution of works or taking of measures].— (1) When an order has been issued under

occupier of the land to execute such works or take such measures as may be
specified in the notice.
(2) Every such notice shall state the time
within which the works are to be executed or measures are to be taken.
(3) A person aggrieved by an order contained
in such a notice as aforesaid may, within thirty days from the service of such
notice or within such longer period as the [49][49][District Officer (Revenue)] may allow in this behalf, serve a notice of
his objections on the [50][50][District Officer (Revenue)] in such manner as may be provided by the
rules made under this Act.
(4) If and in
so far as an objection under this section is based on the ground of some
informality, defect or error in or in connection with the notice, the [51][51][District Officer (Revenue)] shall dismiss the
objection, if he is satisfied that the informality, defect or error was not a
material one.
(5) If the objection is brought on all or
any of the following grounds, that is to say:-
(a) that
the notice might lawfully have been served on the occupier of the land in
question instead of on the owner, or on the owner instead of on the occupier,
and that it would have been equitable for it to have been so served;
(b) that
some other person, being the owner, occupancy tenant, mortgagee with possession
or lessee or farm holder or possessing some other right in or over the land to
be benefited, ought to contribute towards the expenses of executing any works
or taking any measures required;
(c) where
the work or measure is work or measure for the common benefit of the land in
question and other land, that some other person being the owner or occupier of
land to be benefited, ought to contribute towards the expenses of executing any
works or taking any measures required;
the objector shall serve
a copy of his notice of objection on each other person referred to, and on the
hearing of the objection the [52][52][District Officer (Revenue)] may make such order
as he thinks fit with respect to the person by whom any work is to be executed
or measure is to be taken and the contribution to be made by any other person
towards the cost of the work or measure, or as to the proportions in which any
expenses which may become recoverable by the [53][53][District Officer (Revenue)] under sub-section (6)
are to be borne by the objector and such other person:
Provided that no such order shall be made unless the
person who is likely to be affected thereby has been given a reasonable
opportunity of being heard.
In
exercising his power under this sub-section the [54][54][District Officer (Revenue)] shall have regard—
(a) as
between an owner and an occupier, to the terms and conditions, whether
contractual or statutory, of the tenancy and to the nature of the works and
measures require; and
(b) in
any case to the degree of benefit to be derived by the different persons
concerned.
(6) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in any law for the time being in force, no person required by a notice or an
order under this section to execute any work or to take any measure shall be required to obtain the
consent of any other person before complying with such notice or order.
(7) Subject to such right of objection as
aforesaid and the right of appeal under section 18, if the person required by
the notice to execute works or to take measures fails to execute the works or
to take the measures indicated within the time thereby limited, the [55][55][District Officer (Revenue)] may himself or by an agent execute the works
or take the measures and recover from that person the expenses reasonably
incurred by him in so doing:
(1) provided
that it shall not be necessary for the [56][56][District Officer (Revenue)] to wait for the decision of any objection
other than an objection under clause (a) of sub-section (5), or an appeal
against any decision on such objection, before taking action under this
sub-section:
(2) provided further that the maximum amount that
shall be recoverable in respect of any land in regard to which the work has
been executed or the measure taken shall not exceed—
(a) where the work is required to be executed or the measure to be
taken by the owner, ten times the land revenue assessed on all the lands owned
by him in the [57][57][Province]; and
(b) where the work is required to be executed by the occupier, ten
times the land revenue assessed on all the lands occupied by him in the state
in which such land is situated.
(8) If the cost of any work executed or any
measure taken by any person remains unpaid by the person from whom it is due
after the date specified in a notice issued in this behalf by the [58][58][District Officer (Revenue)] or such other date as is fixed by him, such
cost shall be recoverable as an arrear of land revenue and a certificate issued
by the [59][59][District Officer (Revenue)] in this behalf shall be final and conclusive
evidence of the sum so recoverable and the person liable for the same.
(9) Every order issued under this section
shall be published in such manner as may be prescribed in the rules made under
this Act, and upon such publication every person affected thereby shall, unless
the contrary be proved, be deemed to have had due notice thereof.
(10) The [60][60][District Officer (Revenue)] may by general or special order authorise
any revenue officer subordinate to him to enquire into any objection that may
be brought under this section:
Provided
that no final order on any such objection shall be passed except by the [61][61][District Officer (Revenue)] himself.
(11) In making an order on objections brought
under this section, the [62][62][District Officer (Revenue)] shall be guided by such rules, if any, as
the Provincial Government may make in this behalf.
(12) For the purposes of this section, the
expression “estate” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Punjab Land
Revenue Act, [63][63][1967 (XVII of 1967)].]
