Power to cancel or suspend licence

(1) The competent authority may cancel or suspend any licence if it appears to it after giving the holder an opportunity of being heard— (i) that such licence has been obtained by misrepresentation or fraud; or (ii) that the licencee has contravened or failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Act or the rules made thereunder or any of the terms or conditions of the licence; or (iii) that the licencee has contravened or failed to comply with an order passed under this Act or the rules made thereunder; or (iv) that the public building can no longer be safely used for the purpose for which the licence was granted. (2) The competent authority may, of its own motion, review any order passed under sub-section (1)— (i) on the basis of a mistake or error apparent on the face of the record; or (ii) on the basis of new and important facts brought to its notice after the order was made; or (iii) for any other sufficient reason: Provided that the competent authority shall not pass any order under this sub-section prejudicial to any party unless he has had a reasonable opportunity of making his representations.
