Section 7

If any owner or occupier of land and premises on whom a notice under section 6 has been served is of the opinion that any act or thing required by the notice to be performed or done is unreasonable or unnecessary, he may, by an application in writing addressed to the supervising committee and despatched by registered post to or otherwise delivered at the office of the agricultural officer, within 7 days from the service of the notice and setting forth the grounds on which his application is based, apply to the committee for an order cancelling or varying the notice, and shall forthwith notify the inspecting officer by whom the notice was signed that the application has been made.

The committee may, on receipt of the application, suspend the operation of the notice or make such other order in the premises as it thinks just.

Pending any order by the committee to the contrary, the notice shall remain in force as if the application had not been made.

If the notice in respect of which an application is made has been signed by a member of the supervising committee, that member shall take no part in the proceedings of the committee upon the application.
