Chapter VII FILLING UP VACANCIES, REMOVAL ETC. OF MEMBERS OF THE AUTHORITIES OF THE UNIVERSITY

No act or proceedings of the Board, Academic Council or any other authorities of the University shall be invalid merely by reason of any vacancy existing in the authority performing the act or passing the proceedings.

All vacancies arising by reason of death, resignation or otherwise among the members of any of the authorities of the University, who were nominated or elected, shall be filled up as soon as convenient may be, by nomination or election, as the case may be, and any person so nominated or elected shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of his predecessor in office.

(1) Any member of any authority of the University may resign from his office by a letter addressed to the Registrar and the resignation shall take effect from the date of receipt of the letter by the Registrar. (2) The Vice-Chancellor may, on the recommendation of the Board, 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 membership of any authority of the University and for the same reason may withdraw any degree or diploma conferred or granted by the University. (3) The Vice-Chancellor may, on the recommendation of the Board, also remove any person from the membership of any authority of the University if he becomes mentally unsound or a deaf-mute or has applied to be adjudicated or has been adjudicated as insolvent. (4) If a member of any authority of the University who is not an ex-officio member fails to attend three consecutive meetings of that authority, he shall cease to be a member of such authority, and thereupon the Registrar shall intimate him that he has ceased to be such member : Provided that such authority may, if satisfied that there was sufficient cause for the failure of the member to attend the meetings, restore him to its membership with an intimation to the Registrar.
