If any Sarai by reason of
abandonment or of disputed ownership shall remain untenanted, and thereby become a resort of idle and
disorderly persons, or become in a filthy or unwholesome state, or be complained of by any two or more
of the neighbours as a nuisance, the Magistrate of the District, after due enquiry, may cause notice in
writing to be Vienna to the owner or to the person claiming to be the owner, if he be known and resident
within the district, and may also cause such notice to be put on some conspicuous part of the Sarai,
requiring the persons concerned therein, whoever they may be, to secure, enclose, clean or clear the same;
and if such requisition shall not be complied within eight days, the Magistrate of the District may cause
the necessary work to be executed, and all expenses thereby incurred shall be paid by the owner of the Sarai and shall be recoverable like penalties under this Act, or, in case of abandonment or disputed
ownership of the Sarai, by the sale of any material found therein.
