(a) if no objection (other than an objection which, in the opinion of the Minister, relates only to compensation) to the compulsory acquisition order is duly made to the Minister or every such objection so made is withdrawn, the Minister may, as he thinks proper, refuse to confirm the compulsory acquisition order, make an order confirming it without modification, or make an order confirming it with such modifications as he thinks proper;

(b) in any case to which paragraph (a) of this section applies, the Minister may, if he so thinks fit, before dealing with the application cause an inquiry under this Act to be held in respect of the compulsory acquisition order;

(c) if an objection (other than an objection which, in the opinion of the Minister, relates only to compensation) to the compulsory acquisition order is duly made to the Minister and is not withdrawn, the Minister shall cause an inquiry under this Act to be held in respect of the compulsory acquisition order;

(d) where an inquiry is held in pursuance of the next preceding paragraph, the Minister, having considered the report of the person by whom the inquiry was held and the objection or all the objections which occasioned the holding of the inquiry, may, as he thinks proper, refuse to confirm the compulsory acquisition order, make an order confirming it without modification, or make an order confirming it with such modifications as he thinks proper.
