The Court may, on the recommendation of the Executive Council and the Academic Council, institute and confer such degrees, diplomas and other academic distinctions as may be prescribed by the Statutes.

If, on a recommendation of the Academic Council in this behalf, not less than two-thirds of the members of the Executive Council recommend that an honorary degree or other academic distinction be conferred on any person on the ground that he is in their opinion, by reason of eminent position and attainments a fit and proper person to receive such degree or other academic distinction and where their recommendation is supported by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members of the Court present at a meeting of the Court, such majority comprising not less than one half of the members of the Court, and the recommendation is confirmed by the Chancellor, the Court may confer on such person the honorary degree or other academic distinction so recommended without requiring him to undergo any examination.

(1) The Chancellor may, on the recommendation of the Executive Council and of the Court supported by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members of each body present at its meeting, such majority comprising not less than one half of the members of each body remove the name of any person from the register of graduates or withdraw from any person a diploma or degree conferred upon him by the University, if he has been convicted by a court of law of any offence which in the opinion of the Executive Council and the Court is a serious offence involving moral turpitude or if he has been guilty of scandalous conduct.
2. (2) No action under this section shall be taken unless the person concerned is given an opportunity to be heard in his defence in the manner prescribed by the Statutes.
