The Chancellor

(1) The Chairman shall be the Chancellor of the University and in the absence of the Visitor, the Chancellor shall preside over the convocation of the University. (2) The Chancellor shall be the Chairman of the Governing Body and shall appoint the officers and employees, and look after the appointments and reinstatements of the employees and officers of the University either suo moto or on the recommendation of the concerned authority of the University. (3) The Chancellor may alter or revoke any decision taken by any authority or officer of the University and may exercise his powers either suo moto or otherwise to do all necessary things to facilitate the smooth functioning of the University. (4) The Chancellor shall have the power to do all such other acts, as may be required to further the objects of the University and any matter incidental thereto; and the decisions taken by the Chancellor shall be final and binding on all concerned of the University. (5) If in the opinion of the Chancellor, it is necessary to take immediate action on any matter for which powers are conferred on any other officer or authority of the University by or under this Act, he may take such action, as he deems necessary and shall, thereafter, at the earliest possible, report his action to such officer or authority, who would have in the ordinary course dealt with the matter. (6) If in the opinion of the Chancellor any decision of any officer or authority of the University is beyond the powers conferred under this Act or Statutes, Ordinances or Regulations made thereunder or is likely to be prejudicial to the interest of the University, he shall ask such officer or authority to revise the decision within a period of fifteen days from the date of decision, and in case the officer or authority refuses to revise such decision, wholly or partly or fails to take any decision within a period of fifteen days, the decision of the Chancellor thereon shall be final. (7) If, at any time, upon the representation made or otherwise, it appears to the Chancellor that the Vice-Chancellor or any other officer of the University: (a) has made default in performing any duty cast upon him under this Act or otherwise; (b) has acted in a manner prejudicial to the interest of the University; or (c) is incapable of managing the affairs of the University, the Chancellor may, notwithstanding the fact that the term of that officer has not expired, by an order in writing and stating the reasons therein, require the officer to relinquish his office from such date, as may be specified in the order. The concerned officer shall be deemed to have relinquished the office from the specified date: Provided that no such order shall be passed, unless the grounds on which such action is proposed to be taken are communicated to that officer and he is given reasonable opportunity of being heard.
