Indian Medicine Central Council Act, 1970
33. Commission of inquiry
(1) Whenever it is made to appear to the
Central Government that the Central Council is not complying with any of the
provisions of this Act, the Central Government may refer the particulars of the
complaint to a commission of inquiry consisting of three persons, two of whom
shall be appointed by the Central Government, one being a Judge of a High
Court, and one by the Central Council, and such commission shall proceed to
inquire in a summary manner and to report to the Central Government as to the
truth of the matters charged in the complaint, and in case of any charge of
default or of improper action being found by the commission to have been
established, the commission shall recommend the remedies, if any, which are in
its opinion necessary.
(2) The Central Government may require the
Central Council to adopt the remedies so recommended within such time as,
having regard to the report of the commission, it may think fit, and if the
Central Council fails to comply with any such requirement, the Central
Government may amend the regulations of the Central Council, or make such
provision or order or take such other steps as may seem necessary to give
effect to the recommendations of the commission.
(3) A commission of inquiry shall have power
to administer oaths, to enforce the attendance of witnesses and the production
of documents, and shall have all such other necessary powers for the purpose of
any inquiry conducted by it as are exercised by a civil court under the Code of
Civil Procedure, 1908 (5 of 1908).
