Section 33
If the Director General is satisfied that the working or operation of any installation causes electrical interference with any radio-communication, telecommunication, telegraph, telephone or other electrical signalling process or circuit owned or operated by or on behalf of the Federal Government or any State Government, or any supply authority, the Director General shall call upon the owner or licensee to abate the interference, and if, within a period of fourteen days or such longer period as the Director General considers reasonable in any particular circumstances, the interference has not been effectually abated, the Director General shall report the matter to the Minister who may in his discretion—
(a)
in the case of a licensed installation, order the suspension of the licence;
(b)
in the case of an unlicensed installation, by order prohibit the working or operation thereof; or
(c)
in the case of any installation, by order, prohibit the working or operation of such part thereof as causes the electrical interference, until arrangements have been made to the satisfaction of the Director General for preventing the recurrence of such electrical interference as aforesaid, and if, in the case of a licensed installation, no such arrangements are made, then the Minister may order that the licence for the said installation be revoked absolutely.

For any loss caused to a licensee by the suspension or revocation of a licence under this section the licensee may claim compensation from the Federal Government, State Government or any supply authority, as the case may be:
Provided that no claim shall be allowed and no compensation shall be paid where the electrical interference referred to in subsection (1) has been caused by an installation which does not comply with any regulations for regulating electrical interference made under any written law relating to telegraphs for the time being in force.
