(1) The Council may, upon reference from the Registrar or otherwise, pass an order removing the name of any such person from the register maintained under subsection (1) of section 50, where it is satisfied, after giving that person a reasonable opportunity of being heard, and after such further inquiry, if any, as it may deem fit to make,—
(a) that the name of such person has been entered in the register by error or on account of misrepresentation or suppression of a material fact;
(b) that such person has been convicted of any offence or has been guilty of misconduct in any professional respect, or has violated the standards of professional conduct and etiquette or the code of ethics determined under sub-section (1) of section 61 which, in the opinion of the said Council, renders him unfit to be kept in the register; or
(c) that such person has been sentenced by a criminal court to imprisonment for an offence indicating in the opinion of the Council such a defect in character as would render the registration or continuance of his name in the State Register undesirable.
(2) An order under sub-section (1) may specify that any person, whose name is ordered to be removed from the register, shall be ineligible for registration under this Act either permanently or for such period, as may be specified.

(4) Such order under sub-section (1) or sub-section (3) shall be communicated to the person concerned forthwith and the person, whose name has been removed or amended from the register under this section, shall surrender his Certificate of Registration to the Registrar within a stipulated period of seven days of receiving such order.
(5) The Council may, on receipt of reliable information regarding the death of a person, whose name is entered in the register, and on making such enquiry as it may think fit, pass an order removing his name from the register.

If any person, whose name is entered in the register, obtains any title, diploma, degree or other qualification for proficiency in sanitary science, public health or medicine, which is a recognized Medical qualification, he shall, on application made in this behalf in the prescribed manner by regulations, be entitled to have any entry stating such other title, diploma or other qualification made against his name in the register either in substitution for or in addition to any entry previously made.
