Procedure for grant of permission.

(1) When an application under section 3 or section 4 is presented to the Sub-Divisional Officer, he may, after making such inquiry as he may think necessary, either disallow the application or grant the requisite permission unconditionally or with such conditions as to security or otherwise as he may consider reasonable in the circumstances of each case. (2) The order of the Sub-Divisional Officer passed under sub-section (1) shall be communicated in writing to the applicant and if such applicant does not receive such communication within one month in the case of an application under section 3 or within three months in case of an application under section 4 from the date on which such application was received in the office of the Sub-Divisional Officer, such applicant shall be deemed to have obtained the permission required by section 3 or section 4, as the case may be.
