Enforcement of agreement

(1) If the Collector apprehends that the owner or occupier of a monument intends to destroy, remove, alter, deface or imperil the monument or to build on or near the site thereof in contravention of the terms of an agreement for its preservation under Section 5, the Collector may make an order prohibiting any such contravention of the agreement. (2) If any owner or other person who is bound by an agreement for the preservation or maintenance of a monument under Section 5 refuses to do any act which is, in the opinion of the Collector, necessary to such preservation or maintenance or neglects to do any such act within such reasonable time as may be fixed by the Collector, the, Collector may authorise any person to do any such act, and the expense of doing any such act or such portion of the expense as the owner may be liable to pay under the agreement, may be recovered from the owner as if it were an arrear of land revenue. (3) A person aggrieved by an order made under this section may appeal to the Commissioner, who may cancel or modify it and whose decision shall be final. Where the Collector has, under Section 4, purchased or taken a lease of any protected monument, or has accepted a gift or bequest, or the Commissioner has, under the same section, accepted the guardianship thereof, and such monument or any part thereof, is periodically used for religious worship or observances by any community, the Collector shall make due provision of such monument, or such part thereof; from pollution of desecration- (a) by prohibiting the entry therein, except in accordance with conditions prescribed with the concurrence of the persons in religious charge of the said monument or part thereof, of any person not entitled so to enter by the religious usages of the community by which the monument or part thereof is used; or (b) by taking such other action as he may think necessary in this behalf.
