1. (c) Notwithstanding, tenure prescribed in the section 5, of the Act, the State Government shall have the power to dissolve the commission anytime if it is satisfied that dissolution is in the larger public interest to make the functioning of the commission consistent with the aims and object of the Act and in furtherance of rights and welfare of all religious and linguistic minority habitant of State of Bihar.

19 (i) Measures to be taken during interregnum: After dissolution of the Commission, the State Government shall constitute a committee of experts comprising of five members to study and make recommendations to the Department of Minorities Welfare regarding identifying minorities based on data collected and analyzed in the Bihar Caste based survey, 2022-23 and to submit a comprehensive report to the department. For the purpose of preparation of report the department may nominate people from different religious and linguistic minorities.
