Section 40

No Act or proceeding of the University or of any authority or body of the University shall be deemed to be invalid merely by reason of the existence of vacancy or vacancies among its members or the invalidity of the election of any of the members. Explanation- For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that when the office of any member of any authority or body of the University cannot be filled up, when such authority or body is constituted for the first time, on account of any selection or appointment not being for any reason feasible, there shall be deemed to be vacancy in the office of such member until such election takes place or such appointment is made.
