Upon receipt of an application made to the Commissioner under section 4(1), the Commissioner shall grant such application by issuing to the applicant a permit in writing, unless having regard to all the circumstances, the Commissioner has reasonable grounds for apprehending that the procession may give rise to public disorder, in which case the Commissioner may —
refuse to grant a permit;
grant a permit subject to such directions and conditions to be observed by those organising or taking part in the procession as appear to the Commissioner to be advisable in the interests of the maintenance of public order, including conditions as to timing and routing the procession and prohibiting it from entering or making use of areas therein prescribed.
In any event, the Commissioner may impose conditions calculated to prevent obstruction of traffic and inconvenience to the public in general.
In the event of refusal by the Commissioner to grant a permit, or the imposition by the Commissioner of directions or conditions which appear to the applicant to be unduly onerous, the applicant may appeal to the Governor whose decision shall be final and binding on all persons.
