(2) If the supervising authority after giving the applicant or the person registered an opportunity of showing cause as aforesaid, decides to refuse the application for the registration and licence or to cancel the registration and the licence, as the case may be, it shall make an order to that effect and shall send a copy of the order by registered post to the applicant or the person registered.
2. (3) Any person aggrieved by an order, refusing an application for registration and licence, or cancelling any registration and licence may, within a period of a calendar month after the date on which the copy of the order was received by him, appeal to the Minister-in-Charge Health Department against such order or refusal.
