  1.  No
  
  person shall make, manufacture, repair or sale, or offer, expose or possess for
  
  repair or sale, any weight or measure unless he holds a valid licence issued in
  
  this behalf by the Controller authorising such person to do so:
  Provided that a person who bona
  
  fide repairs any weight or measure owned and possessed by him shall not be
  
  required to take out a licence referred to in this sub-section.

  4.    Every
  
  person who intends to commence business, after the commencement of this Act, as

  an application in such form and on payment of such fees as may be prescribed,
  
  for the issue of a licence to him, and every licence so issued may be renewed

  prescribed, is made by such person in the prescribed form at least one month
  
  before the expiry of the period of its validity.
  5. The
  
  Controller may, if he is satisfied that the maker, manufacturer, repairer or
  
  seller, as the case may be, of any weight or measure was prevented by
  
  sufficient cause from making an application for the renewal of his licence
  
  before the expiry of the period of the validity thereof, permit him to make the
  
  application within a further period of one month from the date of expiry of the

  the fee which is payable for the issue of the licence.

  the case may be, the holder of the licence has been given a reasonable
  
  opportunity of showing cause against the proposed action, and
  b.   the Controller is
  
  satisfied that--
   
  
   i.  
  
    the
  
  application has not been made within the time specified in this section, or
   
  
   ii.  
  
    the
  
  applicant has made any statement in, or in relation to, the application for the
  
  issue or renewal of the licence which is incorrect or false in material
  
  particulars, or
   
  
   iii.  
  
    the
  
  applicant has contravened any provision of the Standards Act or of any State
