The Council has cancelled the certificate of practice of CS Vikram Nair, who had been practising in Mumbai, and he continues to hold himself out as in practice. Which provision most directly supports the cancellation and the consequence of his continued conduct?

Section 6(3) empowers the Council to cancel a certificate of practice in prescribed circumstances. Once cancelled, a member who still represents that he is in practice is punishable under section 24(b), because he is a member without a certificate of practice.

  1. ASection 6(3) permits the Council to cancel the certificate in prescribed circumstances, and section 24(b) penalises a member without a certificate who represents that he is in practiceCorrect
  2. BSection 37 permits cancellation, and section 25 penalises his conduct
  3. CSection 7 permits cancellation, and section 6(1) fixes his fine
  4. DSection 6(2) permits cancellation, and no penalty applies to members

Explanation

Section 6(3) allows the Council to cancel a certificate of practice under prescribed circumstances. After cancellation he has no certificate, so representing that he is in practice falls under section 24(b). Section 25 concerns use of the Institute's name and awarding degrees, and does not apply.
