(2) The Council may withdraw recognition from any such institution after its inspection by representative of the Council. The order of such withdrawal shall be in writing, and shall be served on the institution in the prescribed manner. (3) No school, hospital or other institution which is not approved and recognized by the Council shall issue to any person a certificate or enter the name of any person in any document purposing to show that such person is qualified by reason of his having passed any examination or undergone any course of training to practice as a nurse, midwife or health visitor, unless his name is registered or entered in the list under this Act. (4) Any person who contravenes the provisions of sub-section(3) shall, on conviction, be punished with fine which may extend to three hundred rupees. (5) where a person committing an offence under this section is a company or other body corporate or an association of persons (whether incorporated or not), every person who at the time of the commission of the offence was a director, manager, secretary, agent or other officer or person concerned with the management thereof shall, unless he proves that the offence was committed without his knowledge or consent, be deemed to be guilty of such offence.

Any person aggrieved by the refusal of the Council to approve and recognize any institution as competent to train nurses, midwives or health visitors or by the withdrawal of recognition under sub-section(2) of section 23 may appeal, within three months from the date of receipt of the order of refusal or withdrawal. The decision of the state Government on such appeal shall be final.
