Section 15

Every person who cultivates rubber shall at such time or times and in such manner as may be prescribed give notice of the cultivation to a Collector of Land Revenue, and shall furnish to that Collector of Land Revenue the particulars in the prescribed form and any other particulars relating to the cultivation required by the Collector of Land Revenue.

The Collector of Land Revenue shall thereupon enter in a register to be kept by him for the purposes of this Act, or include in any suitable register already kept by him for other purposes, the information so furnished, making separate entries for the respective lots of land on which rubber is so cultivated, and shall deliver to the cultivator a certificate under his hand of such registration bearing a distinguishing number or letter to identify the entry to which it relates. The certificate shall be in the prescribed form.

After the first registration under this section of the cultivation of rubber on any land, the Collector of Land Revenue may at his discretion in any subsequent year, instead of making a fresh entry in the register of the cultivation of rubber on that land and issuing a fresh certificate in respect thereof, register the continued cultivation of rubber on that land by endorsement under his hand on the previous entry in the register relating to that land and on the certificate corresponding thereto.

The certificate prescribed by this section shall be preserved by the person to whom it is delivered under subsection (2) and shall be produced by him on demand for the inspection of any such officer as is mentioned in section 11.

Any person who contravenes subsection (1) or (4) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $50, and, in the case of continued contravention of subsection (1), to a fine of $10 for every day during which the contravention continues.
