Removal from registers on application.— (1) Any practitioner registered under this Act may make an application to the Council concerned for the removal of his name from the register of practitioners and the Council may, on such application, direct such removal: Provided that no application from such practitioner for the removal of his name from the register shall be considered during the pendency of any disciplinary proceedings against him or in cases where disciplinary proceedings are contemplated against him, until such proceedings are dropped or concluded: Provided further that if any such application is made with a view to enable the applicant to pursue a course of conduct which would have brought him under the disciplinary jurisdiction of the Council concerned, had his name continued to remain on the register, it shall be rejected. (2) A practitioner whose name has been removed from the register under sub-section (1) may, on application being made and on payment of such 56 fees as may be prescribed by rules, get himself re-registered, if he is at that time eligible for registration under this Act.
