(1) Where the revocation of an individual licence under section 45 of this Act or the surrender of an individual licence under section 44 hereof, has taken effect, or where the individual licence has expired, the licensee shall immediately lose the right to provide any service in respect of which the individual licence was granted.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) of this section and without prejudice to specific individual licence conditions, the Commission may authorise the licensee in writing to carry on providing any facility or service for such duration as the Commission may specify in the authorisation for the purpose of-
(a) winding up the licensee's affairs;
(b) relocating the licensee's consumers to some other licensee as the Commission may determine and on such terms and conditions as the Commission may specify ;

(d) carrying out such other ancillary and related activities as the Commission may consider necessary.
(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, the licensee whose individual licence has expired shall be entitled to carry on providing a service as if his individual licence had not expired upon proof being submitted to the Commission that the licensee has applied for the renewal of the individual licence in accordance with section 43 of this Act and that such application is pending determination by the Commission.
(4) Subject to subsections (2) and (3) of this section, a person who continues to provide service after the coming into effect of the provisions of subsection (1) of this section in respect of his licence commits an offence and, on conviction, is liable to the punishment prescribed in section 31(2) of this Act.
