Section 30 — Procedure for permission of access to highway

(1) The general permission under sub-section (2) of section 29, including any terms and conditions thereof, shall be given by issuing a notification in the Official Gazette for such purpose and specific permission under that sub-section shall be given in the manner specified hereinafter under this section. (2) Any person desirous of obtaining specific permission referred to in sub-section (1) may make an application in the prescribed form to the State Government or an officer authorised by the State Government in this behalf specifying therein the means of access to which such permission relates and shall also be accompanied with such fees as may be prescribed and the State Government or such officer shall, after considering the application, either give the permission with or without the terms and conditions as may be specified therein or reject the application as it may deem fit. (3) In case where the permission has been given in respect of the application made under sub-section (2), the person to whom such permission has been given shall obtain the licence from the State Government or the officer authorised by the State Government in this behalf, in the prescribed form enumerating therein the terms and conditions, if any, subject to which such permission has been given, and such permission shall be renewed after such period and in such manner as may be prescribed. (4) If any person contravenes the provisions of sub-section (1) or sub-section (2) of section 29 or violates any terms and conditions subject to which permission has been given under sub-section (2) including non-renewal of licence obtained under sub-section (3), his access to the highway under the permission under sub-section (1) or sub-section (3), as the case may be, shall be deemed to be unauthorised access and the State Government or the officer authorised by the State Government in this behalf shall have the power to remove such access and where necessary, the State Government or such officer may use the necessary force with the assistance of the police to remove such access.
