6. Appointment of registering officers. The appropriate Government may, by order
notified in the Official Gazette,-
(a) appoint such persons, being Gazetted Officers of Government, as it thinks fit, to be

(b) in relation to any other establishment to which this Act may be applicable at any
time after such commencement, within a period of sixty days from the date on which
this Act becomes applicable to such establishment, make an application to the
registering officer for the registration of such establishment: Provided that the
registering officer may entertain any such application after the expiry of the periods
aforesaid, if he is satisfied that the applicant was prevented by sufficient cause from

8. Revocation of registration in certain cases. If the registering officer is satisfied, either
on a reference made to him in this behalf or otherwise, that the registration of any
establishment has been obtained by misrepresentation or suppression of any material
fact or that the provisions of this Act are not being complied with in relation to any work
carried on by such establishment, or that for any other reason the registration has
become useless or ineffective and, therefore, requires to be revoked, he may, after giving

(a) in the case of an establishment required to be registered under section 7, but which
has not been registered under that section;
(b) in the case of an establishment the registration in respect of which has been revoked
under section 8 and no appeal has been preferred against such order of revocation
under section 9 within the period prescribed for the preferring of such appeal or where
an appeal has been so preferred, such appeal has been dismissed, employ building
workers in the establishment after the expiry of the period referred to in clause (a) or

under section 8 or after the expiry of the period for preferring an appeal under section 9
or after the dismissal of the appeal, as the case may be.
