Section 41:
Removal from register.
(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, the 1[State] Council may
order that the name of any person shall be removed from any register where it is satisfied, after giving that

make,--
(i) that his name has been entered in the register by error or on account of misrepresentation or
suppression of a material fact, or
(ii) that he has been convicted of any offence or has been guilty of any infamous conduct in any
professional respect 2[ or has violated the standards of professional conduct and etiquette or the code
of ethics prescribed under section 17A], which in the opinion of the 1[State] Council renders him unfit
to be kept in the register, 3[or]
3[(iii) that he having been permitted temporary registration under clause (b) of sub-section (2) of
section 34 has, on such registration, been found to practise the profession of dentistry for personal
gain.]
