Powers to refuse sanction to build.

Within one month after the receipt of the notice required by sub-section 162 the Municipality may refuse to sanction the building or may sanction it either absolutely or such modifications as it thinks fit in respect of all or any of the matters specified in sub-section (3) of that section and the person erecting or re-erecting any such building shall comply with the sanction of the Municipality as granted in every particular. Provided that if the Municipality neglects or omits, for two months after the receipt of a valid notice to make and deliver to the person who has given such notice an order of sanction or refusal in respect thereof, it shall be deemed to have sanctioned the proposed building absolutely. Explanation-- The Municipality may refuse to sanction the erection or re-erection or any building either on grounds affecting the particular building or in pursuance of a general scheme sanctioned by the Administrator restricting the erection or re-erection of buildings or any class of buildings within specified limits for the prevention of overcrowding or in the interest of the residents within such limits or for any other public purpose and sanction may also be refused in any case in which there is any dispute between the Municipality and the applicant as to the land on which it is proposed to erect the building until such dispute is decided.
