Chapter VI Election to the Senate, the Syndicate and the Other Bodies of the University, Filling up of Vacancies and Resignation, Removal, etc., of Members of Authorities and Bodies

shall be held in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote and in accordance with the procedure prescribed by the Statutes, and the voting at such election shall be by secret ballot.

(1) All vacancies among the members (other than ex-officio members) of any authority or body of the University by reason of death, resignation or otherwise shall be filled, as soon as may be, by the person or authority who or which appointed, elected or nominated the member whose place has become vacant. (2) Any person appointed, elected or nominated under sub-section (1) shall hold office as member so long only as the member in whose place he is appointed, elected or nominated, as the case may be, would have been entitled to hold office if the vacancy had not occurred.

(1) (2) (3) (4) Any member of any authority or body of the University may resign his office by letter addressed to the Registrar. The Senate may, on the recommendation of not less than two-thirds of the number of members of the Syndicate, remove the name of any person convicted by a court of law of any offence involving moral delinquency or punished by the University for malpractice connected with any University examination from the register of registered graduates or remove any such person from membership of any authority or body of the University and for the same reason may withdraw and degree or diploma conferred or granted by the University. The Senate may also remove any person from the membership of any authority or body of the University if he becomes of unsound mind or a deaf-mute or has applied to be adjudicated or has been adjudicated as insolvent. If an elected member or any authority or body of the University fails to attend three consecutive meetings of that authority or body, he shall cease to be a member of such authority or body and there-upon the Registrar shall intimate him that he has ceased to be such member. Provided that such authority or body may, if satisfied that there was sufficient cause for the failure of the member to attend the meetings, restore him to its membership.
