  12. Restrictions on powers of licensing authority 
  (1) The licensing authority shall not grant a license under this
  
  Part, unless it is satisfied that- 
  (a) the rules made under this Part have been
  
  substantially complied with, and
  (b) adequate precautions have been taken in
  
  the place, in respect of which the license is to be given, to provide for the
  
  safety of persons attending exhibitions therein.
  (2) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this section and to
  
  the control of the State Government, the licensing authority may grant licenses
  
  under this Part to such persons as that authority thinks fit and on such terms
  
  and conditions and subject to such restrictions as it may determine.
  (3) Any person aggrieved by the decision of a licensing
  
  authority refusing to grant a license under this Part may, within such time as
  
  may be prescribed, appeal to the State Government or to such officer as the
  
  State Government may specify in this behalf and the State Government or the
  
  officer, as the case may be, may make such order in the case as it or he thinks
  
  fit.
  (4) The Central Government may, from time to time, issue
  
  directions to licensees generally or to any licensee in particular for the
  
  purpose of regulating the exhibition of any film or class of films, so that
  
  scientific films, films intended for educational purposes, films dealing with
  
  news and current events, documentary films or indigenous films secure an
  
  adequate opportunity of being exhibited, and where any such directions have
  
  been issued those directions shall be deemed to be additional conditions and
  
  restrictions subject to which the license has been granted.
