(2) Any institution desirous of recognition under this Act shall send an application to the Registrar giving full information in respect of the following matters, namely :—
- (a) the constitution and personnel of the managing body;
- (b) subjects and courses in which it gives or proposes to give instruction and the examination for which it seeks recognition;
- (c) accommodation, equipment and the number of students for whom provision has been or is proposed to be made;
- (d) the strength of the staff, their salaries, qualifications and the research work carried out by them :
- (e) fees levied or proposed to be levied and the financial provision made for capital expenditure on buildings and equipment and for continued maintenance and efficient working of the institution : Provided that no application shall be entertained by the Registrar unless the institution agrees in writing to give all facilities to any inspectors, members, visitors or any other persons authorised by the Court to make an inspection or enquiry or to attend any examination under sub-sections
(3) to (9).
(3) The Registrar shall place the application before the Court and the Court may direct the Registrar to call for any further information which it may deem necessary. The Court may also direct a local inquiry to be made by a competent person or persons authorised by it in this behalf.
(4) After recording the report of such local inquiry and after making such further inquiry as may be necessary, the Court shall forward the application together with its report to the State Government with its opinion whether the recognition asked for should or should not be granted. The State Government may thereupon grant or refuse the recognition or may grant it subject to such conditions as it deems fit. The decision of the State Government shall be final.
(5) It shall be the duty of the Court to secure the maintenance of an adequate standard of proficiency for the practice of the Homoeopathic or the Biochemic system of medicine.

Every recognised institution shall comply with any reasonable direction issued by the Court from time to time.
(6) The inspectors, members or visitors shall not interfere with the conduct of any examination but it shall be their duty to report to the Court, their opinion as to the sufficiency or insufficiency of every examination which they attend and any other matters in regard to such institutions on which the Court may require them to report.
(7) Every recognised institution and every examination held by such institution shall be inspected by the Court through its inspectors or members or visitors at least once in five years and more frequently if the Court so desires.
(8) The Court shall forward a copy of every such report to the authorities of the institution in respect of which the said report was made and shall also forward a copy of such report, together with any observations thereon made by the said body, to the State Government.
(9) An inspector, a member or a visitor shall receive such remuneration to be paid as part of the expenses of the Court, as may be prescribed by by-laws under section 35.
