(1) Whenever the Chief Municipal Officer is of opinion
that the user of any premises for keeping any animal or bird, even
if licenced, is causing a nuisance and that such nuisance should
immediately be stopped, the Chief Municipal Officer may, by
order, require the owner or the occupier of such premises to stop
such nuisance within such period as may be specified in the order.
(2) If, at the end of such period, the nuisance is not stopped,
the Chief Municipal Officer or any other officer authorized by him
in this behalf, may cause such use of such premises to be stopped
forthwith by such means as he thinks fit and direct such owner or
occupier to show cause why the licence for keeping the animal or
the bird, as the case may be, shall not be cancelled.
(3) If such owner or occupier does not show cause to the
satisfaction of the Chief Municipal Officer or if the nuisance is not
abated, the nuisance shall be stopped by the seizure and auction of
the animal or the bird found in the premises after cancellation of
the licence therefor .
