The Chancellor

(1) The Chairperson of the Trust shall be the Chancellor of the University and he shall, in the absence of the Visitor, preside over the convocation of the University. (2) The Chancellor shall be the head of the University and he shall decide or revoke any decision taken by any authority or officer of the University. (3) The Chancellor may exercise his powers either suo motu or on the representation of any authority or officer of the University. (4) The Chancellor shall have the power to do all such other acts as may be required to facilitate the smooth functioning of the University and the decisions taken by the Chancellor shall be final and binding on all concerned. (5) If in the opinion of the Chancellor, it is necessary to take immediate action on any matter for which any 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 interests of the University, he shall ask such officer or authority to revise its decision within a period of fifteen days 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 imposed upon him under this Act or otherwise; or (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 officer concerned shall be deemed to have relinquished the office from the date so specified: 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.
