Professional conduct and removal of name from register

(1) The Council shall determine the standards of professional conduct and discipline and code of ethics for the professions under the regulations under this Act. (2) The regulations made by the Council under sub-section (1) may specify which transgressions constitute professional misconduct and such provisions shall be effective notwithstanding anything contained in any other law for the time being in force. (3) The Council may, after giving a reasonable opportunity of being heard to any person and after such further inquiry, if any, as it deems fit to make, where it is satisfied, by order, remove the name of any person from the register kept under sub-section (1) of section 25: (a) his name was entered in the register by error or by misrepresentation or by concealing material facts; (b) he has been convicted for any offence or has been guilty of professional misconduct or has violated the standards of professional conduct or etiquette or code of ethics determined under sub-section (1), which in the opinion of the Council makes it improper to keep his name in the register. (4) Any order under sub-section (3) may specify that any person, whose name has been ordered to be removed from the register, shall not be eligible for registration under this Act permanently or for such period as may be specified.
