(3) The publication, which shall be done in the form determined under sub-clause (1), shall contain the details and the method of its publication shall be as prescribed by the rules. (4) The list prepared under sub-section (1) shall be accepted as conclusive evidence before any court and for any judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding, which shall prove that the persons specified under the provisions of the Act in this list or the persons whose names are not mentioned herein shall be considered as registered or unregistered unless the contrary is proved under this Act: Provided that in any situation, if the name of a person is left out from appearing in the published list, that person shall obtain a certified photocopy of the entry of his name in the register from the Registrar, which shall be the evidence of that person being registered under the Act.
