 private land under the provisions of this section until after the
 expiration of seven days' notice in writing given to the owner
 or occupier thereof or posted up conspicuously thereon. If such
 owner or occupier shall, within seven days from the service or
 posting up of such a notice, give written notice of his objection
 thereto, the matter shall be referred by the Company to the
 Minister. The Company shall not enter upon the private land
 in question if the Minister shall, within 30 days of being notified
 by the Company of any such objection as aforesaid, so direct:
 Provided that where any condition exists which is dangerous or
 is interrupting, or threatens to interrupt, the supply of elec-
 tricity in the State or any part thereof, the Company may
 immediately enter upon any private land without the consent
 of the owner or occupier thereof and take whatever action is
 necessary to establish safe conditions or to ensure the continuity
 of the supply of electricity. Whenever the Company takes
 action under the terms of this proviso the Company shall
 within three days inform the owner or occupier of the land
 in question (either by service of a written notice on him or by
 posting up conspicuously a notice on such land) of the action
 taken.
 (2) Except with the written consent of the Company no
 person shall erect any building or structure in such a position
 or manner as may interfere with the supply of electricity
 through any overhead electric line which belongs to the Com-
 pany; if after any such overhead line has been constructed, any
 person erects any building or structure which interferes with
 or which may interfere with the proper working of such line,
 the Company may request the owner or occupier of the building
 or structure in question to remove or adjust the same as may be
 necessary. If such owner or occupier fails to comply with such
 request, the Company may apply to the Minister for the removal
 or adjustment of the building or structure in question and, after
 making any such enquiry as he may deem necessary, the Minister
 may make such order as he deems fit. Every such order may,
 by leave of a Judge of the High Court of Justice, be enforced
 in the same manner as an injunction granted by him.
