1. This Law shall be called " The Insanitary Areas Law, 1924."
2. The term " Health Authority " in this Law shall mean the Director of Public
Health or any person authorised by him in this behalf.
The term " Local Administrative Authority " in this Law shall mean the Liwa or
Municipal Authority concerned.
3. If it shall be decided by a resolution of the Local Administrative Authority
approved by the Health Authority that a hou.^e, building, premises, tank, pit, swamp,

Health, the Local Administrative Authority may serve upon the owner or occupier thereof
a notice requiring him to take immediate t^teps to render the place or area m a sanitary
condition. The notice may also order the owner or occupier to carry out the work in
accordance with a scheme decided by the Health Department.
The notice which is served on the owner or occupier shall be accompanied by a copy
of the resolution of the Local Administrative Authority and a copy of the approval of the
Health Authority endorsed thereon.
4. I/f the person on whom the notice is served shall not within seven days after the
receipt of such notice, proceed to the execution of the necessary work and complete it with
out unnecessary delay the Municipal Council or their servants shall have the right to
enter the land and abate the nuisance, and the owner and occupier shall be jointly and
iveverally liable to repay to the Municipal Council the expense so incurred subject to the
provisions herein contained.
5. If the owner or occupier shall make opposition to the notice on the ground that he
is being called upon to do more than is actually necessary for the removal of the danger to
public health, he may apply by petition to the Health Authority.
On receipt of such petition, the Health Authority shall make a further enquiry into the
case and shall gives its decision as to what work is necessary to be done under the

more than was necessary in the interests of Public Health, then the claim of the*Munici
pal Council shall be abated accordingly.
If the defendant proves at the trial thatthe expenses incurred were unreasonabiv
heavy or that the nuisance although on the defendant's property was of such a nature
that the expenses of abating it, should fall on the public or local authority the Court shall
have power to disiallow wholly or in part the claim of the local authority.
In the event of appeal against the decision of the Court under this Article, the Health
Authority and the local administrative authoiity shall furnish such further reports as the

expense incurred under the provisions of this law unless the Court shall consider that the
occupier has so used or neglected the premises as to be responsible for their unhealthy
condition.
