Clause 18

When under the foregoing provisions of this Act, a telecommunication line or post has been placed by the telecommunication authority under, over, along, across, in or upon any property and any person entitled to do so desires to deal with that property in such a manner as to render it necessary or convenient that the telecommunication line or post should be removed to another part thereof or to a higher or lower level or altered in form, he may require the telecommunication authority to remove or alter the line or post accordingly.

If compensation has been paid under subsection (5) of section 11 of this Act, he shall, when making the requisition, tender to the telecommunication authority the amount requisite to defray the expense of the removal or alteration, or half of the amount paid as compensation, whichever is the smaller sum.

If the telecommunication authority omits to comply with the requisition, the person making it may apply to a District Judge to order the removal or alteration.

The District Judge may, in his discretion, reject the application or make an order, subject to such conditions, if any, as may be specified in such order, for the removal of the telecommunication line or post to any other part of the property or to a higher or lower level or for the alteration of its form, and the order so made shall be final.
