Section 20
Disqualification for offences
Any court before which a person is convicted of any offence under this Act in connection with the export, transhipment or bringing in transit of strategic items or unlisted items or the brokering of strategic items may order that—
(a)
such person to be disqualified from holding or obtaining a permit under this Act or from being registered as a broker under this Act for life or for such period as the court considers appropriate; and
(b)
particulars of the conviction and of any disqualification to which the convicted person has become subject shall be notified to the Controller and shall be endorsed on any permit or registration held by the offender:
Provided that, if the court considers appropriate, any disqualification imposed under this section may be limited to the export, transhipment, bringing in transit or brokering of the same class or description of strategic items or unlisted items, as the case may be, as the strategic items or unlisted items in respect of which the offence was committed.
