Clause 82

No land shall be manured with night-soil or human excreta.

If any night-soil or human excreta is found in any place collected in pits or receptacles of any kind such as would in the ordinary course be used for preparing such night-soil or human excreta for purposes of manuring, this shall be deemed conclusive evidence that the land on which such pits or receptacles are situated or land in the same occupation adjoining or contiguous thereto has been manured with night-soil or human excreta.

The owner and occupier of any land which is manured with night-soil or human excreta shall both be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding eight hundred dollars and to a further fine of fifty dollars for every day during which the offence is continued and for a second or subsequent offence to the like fines or to imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months.

A Magistrate’s Court may, on the application of the Director, make a mandatory order against the owner or occupier of such land, requiring him to remove such night-soil or receptacles or to fill up such pits, as the case may be.
