61 On approval of application for lease, applicant may enter land
When an application for a petroleum lease has been approved, notice of such approval shall be published in the Government Gazette and also be given to the applicant; and upon receipt of such notice and compliance by the applicant with the provisions of section 60A of this Act, the applicant shall be at liberty to enter upon the land in respect of which the lease is approved for the purpose of such lease as if he were already the lessee thereof, but such entry shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the lease to the same extent as if the instrument of lease had already been executed and issued to the applicant:
Provided that, if the land the subject of such approved application has not already been surveyed prior to the application being approved, the application shall be deemed to have been approved subject to the condition that such land is found to be available after a survey thereof is made.
