When a person who is convicted of an offence, under
section 6 holds any license under any law for the time being in force in
respect of any profession, trade, calling or employment in relation to which
the offence is committed, the court trying the offence may, without prejudice
to any other penalty to which such person may be liable under that section,
direct that the license shall stand cancelled or be suspended for such period
as the court may deem fit, and every order of the court so canceling or
suspending a license shall have effect as if it had been passed by the
authority competent to cancel or suspend the license under any such law.
Explanation - In this section, “license” includes a
permit or permission.
