Failure to inform the Notary that the enquiry concerned misconduct warranting disqualification denied a fair opportunity to answer the real allegations and vitiated the cancellation for breach of natural justice. An endorsement after administering an affidavit oath forms part of notarial duties and may require a notarial stamp, but a register-entry finding cannot rest on a rule different from the charge framed. Removal from the register cancels the certificate without permanently barring a future certificate if fitness is later established. The impugned notification was quashed, with fresh lawful action left open. en-us Tue, 03 Dec 1968 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 10:08:07 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198201 Cancellation of a notarial certificate for professional misconduct requires notice that clearly discloses the statutory basis and alleged unfitness to practise.
