Section 36

The Controller may at any time cancel or suspend for such period as he may deem fit any permit issued in respect of any vessel if there has been a breach of any of the conditions or restrictions of the permit or a contravention of any of the provisions of this Ordinance or its regulations by either the owner or master of the vessel:

Provided that before a decision is made to cancel or suspend a permit, the Controller shall give the holder of the permit an opportunity to make representations in writing to him as to why the permit shall not be cancelled or suspended, as the case may be.
