(4) Where the name of a person is removed from the Register under subsection (3), it shall not be restored on the Register except upon a direction by the Minister, and the Minister may give such direction upon an application in writing being made to him by the person whose name has been removed from the Register, and any direction so given may be made subject to the fulfilment of such terms and conditions as the Minister may deem fit to impose, and such terms and conditions may include terms and conditions requiring such person to serve as a veterinary officer to the satisfaction of the Director General for a continuous total period of not less than two years in such post or posts in such one or more of the public services as may from time to time be determined by the Director General in his discretion; while such person is fulfilling the terms and conditions imposed under this subsection he shall be deemed to be registered as far as is necessary to fulfil the terms and conditions imposed under this subsection and for such other purposes as the Minister may direct, but not further; and upon fulfillment of the terms and conditions imposed under this subsection he shall be entitled to a certificate issued by the Director General as evidence thereof. (5) The decision of the Minister upon an application made to him under subsection (4) for the restoration of a name upon the Register shall be final and shall not be questioned or reviewed in any court whatsoever.
