If a Sarai or any part thereof be deemed by the
Magistrate of the District to be in a ruinous state, or likely to fall, or in any way dangerous to the persons
or animals lodging in or halting at the Sarai, he shall give notice in writing to the keeper of the Sarai,
requiring him forthwith to take down, repair or secure (as the case may be) the Sarai or such part thereof
as the case may require. If the keeper do not begin to take down, repair or secure the Sarai, or such part as
aforesaid within three days after such notice, and complete such work with due diligence, the Magistrate
shall cause all or so much of the Sarai as he shall think necessary to be taken down, repaired or otherwise
secured. All the expenses so incurred by the Magistrate shall be paid by the keeper of the Sarai, and shall
be recoverable from him as hereinafter mentioned.
