Section 22

The Director or any other person authorized by him to approve survey plans may, by notice in writing, instruct any land surveyor to correct at his own expense within a time specified in such notice any error made by him:

Provided that such notice is sent not more than twenty-four months after the date on which the relevant survey plan or data was deposited with the Land and Survey Department or any other government authority.

In the event of such land surveyor refusing or neglecting within the time specified to correct such error, it shall be lawful for the Director to undertake such correction and to recover the whole cost of such correction from the land surveyor concerned.

If any land surveyor refuses or neglects to pay the cost of the correction survey referred to in subsection (3) within fourteen days of the receipt of the statement of costs, the Director may report the facts to the Board for disciplinary action, and after due enquiry the

Board may order such land surveyor to pay the cost of correction of his work or to pay his client such sum by way of compensation as the

Board thinks fit; and if such land surveyor refuses or neglects to comply with such order within one month of the date of such decision, the Board may suspend such land surveyor from practice as a land surveyor for a period not exceeding three years until the cost of such correction survey has been paid.
