Discontinuance of Ropeway

1. (1) If, at any time after the opening of a ropeway, it is proved that the Promoter has discontinued the operations of such ropeway or of any part thereof, without sufficient reasons, the Licensing Authority may, if it thinks fit, after providing a reasonable opportunity of being heard to the Promoter, declare that the powers of the Promoter in respect of such ropeway or part thereof shall, from such dates as it may determine, be at an end and thereupon the said powers shall cease. Explanation : The working of a ropeway shall be deemed to have been discontinued if it has ceased for the period determined in the licence granted under section 30, or if the period has not been so determined, for a period of three months.

1. (1) When a declaration has been made by the Licensing Authority under section 46 in respect of any ropeway or of any part thereof, an officer appointed in that behalf by the Licensing Authority may at any time after the expiration of two months from the date determined as aforesaid, remove such ropeway or part thereof, as the case may be, and the Promoter shall pay to the officer so appointed such costs of removal as shall be certified by that officer to have been incurred by him.
2. (2) If the Promoter fails to pay the amount of costs so certified within one month, the State Government may prescribe the procedure and mode of recovery of the cost of removal from the Promoter.
