- If the occupier of any building or land prevents the
owner thereof from carrying into effect in respect of such building
or land any of the provisions of this Act after notice of his
intention so to carry them into effect has been given by the owner
to such occupier, any Magistrate, upon proof thereof and upon
application of the owner, may make an order in writing requiring
such occupier to permit the owner to execute all such works with
respect to such building or land as may be necessary for bringing
into effect the provisions of this Act and may also, if he thinks fit,
order the occupier to pay the owner the cost relating to such
application or order; and if after the expiration of eight days from
the date of the order, such occupier continues to refuse to permit
such owner to execute such work, such occupier shall, for every
day during which he so continues to refuse, be punished with fine
which shall not be less than one thousand rupees but which may
extend to two thousand rupees, and such owner, during the
continuance of such refusal, shall be discharged from any
penalties to which he might otherwise have become liable by
reason of his default in executing such work.
