Section 11
(2)
If the licensee omits to comply with the requisition, the person may apply in writing to the State Authority which may, in its discretion, after enquiring into all the facts of the case, reject the application or make an order, either absolutely or subject to conditions for the removal or alteration of the line, posts or equipment. The order shall provide for the payment of the cost of executing the removal or alteration by the licensee or by the person making the application, as the State Authority may consider equitable in the circumstances of the case.
(b)
The State Authority may, instead of itself enquiring into a case under this subsection, direct the Collector of Land Revenue to make such enquiry on its behalf and to make recommendations to it.
(3)
Whenever the State Authority has made an order for the removal or alteration of any main supply line, the licensee, may instead of removing or altering the supply line, apply to the State Authority to direct the acquisition of such land as is required for the purposes of the line, and the State Authority may direct acquisition accordingly.
(5)
Whenever a supply line has been laid, or posts or equipment erected, on State land by a licensee and the land is subsequently alienated to any person, the owner or occupier of the land may, unless the terms of alienation expressly provide otherwise, require the removal to another part of the land, or to higher or lower level, or the alteration of the line, posts or equipment, and subsections (1) to (4) shall apply to any such requisition:
(4)
Whenever the State Authority is authorized by this section to direct the acquisition of any land, the licensed installation shall be deemed to be a work of public utility and any written law relating to land acquisition in force in the State where the land is situate shall be put in force accordingly.
Provided that the cost of executing the removal or alteration shall be defrayed by the person making the requisition.
(6)
This section shall be without prejudice to sections 23 to 125 of the Municipal Ordinance of the Straits Settlements.
