Power to suspend licence

(1) When the licensing authority has, on information or otherwise, reasonable ground to believe that a licence is liable to be revoked under section 20, that authority may order suspension of the licence for such period as it thinks fit pending the inquiry for revocation, as shall forthwith deliver a copy of the order of suspension to the licensee together with a notice to show cause as to why the licence should not be revoked. (2) Upon considering representation, if any, of the licensee, if the licensing authority is satisfied that the default of licensee is rectifiable by taking adequate steps in relation to the licensed building or installation of machinery and the licensee has since taken adequate steps to comply with the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder the term and condition of licence, it may revoke the order of the suspension and in all other cases, that authority shall revoke the licence.
