No act or proceeding of any authority or body or committee of the University shall be invalid merely by reason of: (a) any vacancy or defect in the constitution thereof; or (b) any person having taken part in the proceedings who was not entitled so to do; or (c) any defect in the election, nomination or appointment of a person acting as a member thereof; or (d) any irregularity in its proceedings not affecting the merits of the case.

The Executive Council may, by a two-thirds majority of the members present and voting, remove any person from the membership of any authority or other body of the University on the ground that such person has been convicted of an offence involving moral turpitude or on the ground that he is guilty of scandalous conduct or has behaved in a manner unbecoming of a member of the University, and may on the same grounds withdraw any degree, diploma or certificate conferred or granted by the University.

If any question arises as to whether any person has been duly elected or appointed as, or is entitled to be, a member of any authority or other body of the University, or whether any decision of any authority or officer of the University (including any question as to the validity of a regulation) is in conformity with this Act or the regulations made thereunder, the matter shall be referred to the Chancellor and the decision of the Chancellor thereon shall be final.

No suit shall be instituted or no other legal proceedings shall be taken against the State Government or the University or any officer, authority or body in respect of any act done or purported to be done in pursuance of this Act or the regulations made thereunder.

(1) A copy of any receipt, application, notice, order, proceeding or resolution of any authority or committee of the University or any entry in a register duly maintained in the possession of the University, if certified by the Registrar, shall be received as prima facie evidence of such receipt, application, notice, order, proceeding, resolution, document or entry in the register, and shall be admitted as evidence of the matters and transactions therein recorded in the same manner as if the original had been produced. (2) No officer or servant of the University shall, in any legal proceeding to which the University is not a party, be required to produce any document, register or other record of the University, or to appear as a witness to prove the contents of such record, by certified copy under sub-section (1), unless so ordered by the Court for special reasons.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, every employee or student of the University or constituent college or affiliated college shall have the right to appeal to the Executive Council within the specified time against any decision of the University or affiliated college, and thereupon the Executive Council may confirm, modify or change the decision against which the appeal has been made.

(1) The State Government may, for the purpose of removing any difficulty, by notified order, direct that the provisions of this Act shall take effect in such period as it may deem necessary or expedient, whether in the form of modifications, additions or gains, as it deems fit. (2) No order under sub-section (1) shall be made after the expiration of a period of two years from the date of commencement of this Act. (3) Every order made under sub-section (1) shall be laid before the State Legislative Assembly. (4) No order under sub-section (1) shall be challenged in any court on the ground that the difficulty referred to in sub-section (1) did not exist or was not required to be removed.
