14. Amendment of section 18 of the principal enactment

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

Section 18 of the principal enactment is hereby amended by the repeal of subsection (3) of that section and the substitution therefor of the following subsection:—

“(3) A permit issued under this Part shall not be transferred without the prior written approval of the

Director-General. The Director-General may, where he has granted approval for a transfer, impose further conditions on such permit. A transfer may be effected only on payment of the prescribed fee. An order transferring the permit should also be entered on the permit, in order that the transfer be effective:

Provided however that the Director-General shall not make an order under this section unless a period of two years has elapsed from the original date of issue of the permit.”.
