Statutes how to be made

(1) The first Statutes are those set out in the Schedule. (2) The Executive Council may, from time to time, make new or additional Statutes or may amend or repeal the Statutes referred to in sub-section (1): Provided that the Executive Council shall not make, amend or repeal any Statutes affecting the status, powers or constitution of any authority of the University until such authority has been given an opportunity of expressing an opinion in writing on the proposed changes and any opinion so expressed shall be considered by the Executive Council. Provided further that the Executive Council shall not consider to make, amend or repeal any statute relating to the matters provided under clauses (j) and (k) of section 23 except with the prior approval of the Chancellor. (3) Every new Statute or addition to the Statutes or any amendment or repeal of a Statute shall require the assent of the Chancellor who may assent thereto or withhold assent or remit to the Executive Council for re-consideration in the light of observations, if any, made by him. (4) A new Statute or a Statute amending or repealing an existing Statute shall have no validity unless it has been assented to by the Chancellor. (5) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing sub-sections, the Chancellor may make new or additional Statutes or amend or repeal the Statutes referred to in sub-section (1) during the period of three years immediately after the commencement of this Act: Provided that the Chancellor may, on the expiry of the said period of three years, make, within one year from the date of such expiry, such detailed Statutes as he may consider necessary and such detailed Statutes shall be laid before the Legislature of the State. (a) whenever, in accordance with the Statutes, any person is to hold an Office or be a member of an authority of the University by rotation according to seniority, such seniority shall be determined according to the length of continuous service of such person in his grade, and in accordance with such other principles as the Executive Council may, from time to time, frame. (b) It shall be the duty of the Registrar to prepare and maintain, in respect of each class of persons to whom the provisions of these Statutes apply, a complete and up-to-date seniority list in accordance with the provision of clause (1). (c) If two or more persons have equal length of continuous service in a particular grade or the relative seniority of any person or persons is otherwise in doubt, the Registrar may, on his own motion and shall, at the request of any such person, submit the matter to the Executive Council whose decision thereon shall be final.
