(5)A Deputy Commissioner shall have and exercise in the area within his jurisdiction all the powers, and shall perform all the duties, conferred or imposed on the Commissioner, by or under this Act; but the Commissioner may, by order published in the Official Gazette, direct that any Deputy Commissioner, or all Deputy Commissioners generally, shall not exercise such powers or perform such duties as are specified in the order, and thereupon such Deputy Commissioner or, as the case may be, all Deputy Commissioners, shall cease to exercise those powers and perform those duties. The Commissioner may in like manner revoke any such direction and thereupon the powers or duties exercisable or performable by such Deputy Commissioner or, as the case may be, all Deputy Commissioners before such direction was issued, shall be restored to him or them.
