Every person to whom a licence or a permit is issued under section 93 or 97, as the case may be, shall maintain such records as may be determined by the Authority, and furnish to the Authority such returns or information as may from time to time be required to be furnished by the
Authority.
The Authority may revoke a licnece or a permit issued under sections 93 or 97, as the case may be, where the
Authority is satisfied that the holder of such licence or permit:—
has ceased to carry on the business in respect of which the lincence or permit has been issued;
has obtained the licence or permit contrary to the provisions of this Act or any regulations or rules made thereunder;
where the licence holder or the permit holder is a company, that any or all of its principal officers have been convicted of an offence connected with the business of the company involving moral turpitude;
has ceased to comply with the requirements specified for the issue of such licence or permit; or
has contravened any provisions of this Chapter of this Act or any regulations or rules made under this
Act.
No revocation of a licence or permit under subsection (2) shall be made against a person, except after due notice has been issued to show cause within such period as may be specified in the notice, why the licence or the permit, as the case may be, should not be revoked.
The Authority or any officer authorized by the
Authority in writing, may—
for the purpose of ascertaining whether any provisions of this Act or any regulations or rules made thereunder are being complied with, enter and inspect at all reasonable hours of day or night, the premises in which the business in respect of which the licence or the permit, as the case may be, was issued by the Authority ; and
inspect and take copies of any records or returns required by this Act or any regulations or rules made thereunder, to be kept in respect of such business and of any other records relating to such business.
Where the Authority has reasonable grounds to believe that any provisions of this Chapter of this Act or any regulations or rules made thereunder are being violated or contravened by any person to whom a licence or a permit has been issued under section 93 or 97, as the case may be, the Authority may after obtaining a warrant under the hand of a Magistrate, enter and inspect any premises specified in such warrant and take into custody any tickets, stocks or other documents used in connection with the commission of such offence.
