Clause 16

Where a person is convicted of an offence under this Act in connection with the driving of a motor vehicle or is disqualified by any court for holding or obtaining a driving licence, the court shall send notice of the conviction or order of disqualification to the Registrar who shall thereupon cause particulars of such conviction or disqualification to be recorded and maintained for a period not exceeding three years from the date of the conviction or expiry of disqualification, as the case may be.(2) In any proceedings in any court a certificate, purporting to be signed by the Registrar or any officer authorised by him, relating to the particulars of any conviction or disqualification recorded and maintained under subsection (1) of this section shall be prima facie evidence of such conviction or disqualification.(3) Where a person is disqualified by any court for holding a driving licence, he shall deliver his driving licence, if any, within seven days of the order of disqualification to the Registrar who shall either cancel it or keep it during the period of disqualification or if the disqualification does not apply to all the classes of vehicles which that person is permitted to drive then the Registrar shall return the driving licence to him after having made the necessary endorsement thereon.”.
