130Removal from register of patent agents and restoration.

(1) The ¹[Controller] may remove the name of any person from the register when ²[he] is satisfied, after giving that person a reasonable opportunity of being heard and after such further inquiry, if any, as ²[he] thinks fit to make--
(i) that his name has been entered in the register by error or on account of misrepresentation or suppression of material fact;
(ii) that he has been convicted of any offence and sentenced to a term of imprisonment or has been guilty of misconduct in his professional capacity which in the opinion of the ¹[Controller] renders him unfit to be kept in the register.
(2) The ¹[Controller] may, on application and on sufficient cause being shown, restore to the register the name of any person removed therefrom.
