(2) The names of registered practitioners or enlisted practitioners who die or whose names are directed to be removed from the register or list under subsaction (1) or sub-section (9) of section 20 shall be removed therefrom. (3) Any person whose name is entered in the register and who subsequent to his registration obtains any additional qualification which is specified in the Schedule, or desires any change in his name to be recorded in the register shall, on an application made in this behalf and on payment of such fee as may be prescribed, be entitled to have such qualification or change entered in the register. (4) For the purpose of this section, the Registrar may at any time enquire of a registered practitioner or enlisted practitioner by writing to him a registered letter at the address which is entered in the register or list whether he has ceased to practise or has changed his residence, and if no answer is received within six months after the delivery of the letter to him, the Registrar may remove the name of such practitioner from the register or list, as the case may be. Such inquiry shall be made at least once not less than one year before the term of office of the members of the Board is due to expire. (5) A practitioner whose name is removed from the register or the list under sub-section (4) may apply to the Registrar for re-entry of his name in the register or list stating the circumstances in which the letter addressed to him under sub-section (4) could not be replied by him and if after holding an inquiry the Registrar is satisfied that such practitioner has not ceased to practise he shall re-enter his name in the register or the list on payment by the practitioner of the prescribed fees to the Board.
