Sec. 3-129. To proceed against healing arts practitioners accused of obtaining
licenses through misrepresentation. The Attorney General may, upon his own motion
or upon the sworn complaint of any two electors within the county in which any person
holding a certificate of registration to practice any of the healing arts resides, prefer
charges to the superior court of such county against such person, alleging that he procured such certificate through fraud, and said court shall, within fourteen days thereafter,
summon such person to appear before it at a given time and place to show cause why
his certificate of registration should not be revoked. Such summons may be served by
any proper officer by leaving a copy thereof with the accused or at his usual place of
abode at least six days before the same is returnable. If such court, upon hearing, finds
such charges to be sustained, it shall certify such finding to the Commissioner of Public
Health, who shall thereupon revoke such certificate. The procedure authorized in this
section shall be in addition to any procedure authorized by any other statutory provision.
