If the Authority is satisfied that a licensee has violated any of the terms and conditions of the licensee or any of the directions it has given or has contravened any of the provisions of this Act or the rules, the authority may order cancellation or suspension of the licence for such period as it may think fit and on such cancellation the certificate of registration shall stand withdrawn. Provided that before a licence is cancelled the licencee shall be given an opportunity to be heard.
