Withdrawal of recognition

(1) The rights conferred on an institution by recognition may be withdrawn or suspended for any period if the institution has failed to observe any of the conditions of its recognition or the institution has conducted in a manner which is prejudicial to the interest of education. (2) A motion for such withdrawal or suspension shall be initiated only in the Board. The member of the Board, who intends to move such a motion, shall give notice of it and shall state in writing the grounds on which it is made. (3) Before taking the said motion into consideration, the Board shall send a copy of the notice of motion and statement of grounds on which it is made to the head of the institution concerned, together with an intimation that any representation in writing submitted within a period specified in the intimation on behalf of the institution will be considered by the Board: Provided that the period so specified may, if necessary, be extended by the Board. (4) On receipt of the representation or on the expiry of the period referred to in sub-section (3), the Board, after considering the notice of motion, statement and representation and after such inspection by any competent person or persons authorised by the Board in this behalf and after such further inquiry as may appear to it to be necessary, and after consulting the Academic Council, may, by a resolution, withdraw or suspend recognition.
