https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=308157 Section 37 of the Architects Act, 1972 protects only the title and style of "architect" and does not bar unregistered persons from practising architecture or related building work. The legislative scheme focuses on registration and professional regulation, but not on a general prohibition against architectural practice. A post designated as "Architect" or "Associate Architect" cannot be held by an unregistered person, because that nomenclature necessarily involves use of the protected title. Delegated service rules cannot override the parent statute, and any such post must be renamed if it is to be filled by a non-registered person. en-us Tue, 17 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Sun, 04 Jun 2023 19:47:13 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=308157 Section 37 of the Architects Act, 1972 protects only the title and style of "architect" and does not bar unregistered persons from practising architecture or related building work.
