Section 10: Removal of Pro-Chancellor and other officers, etc

(1) If it appears to the Council that the Pro-Chancellor or a member of the Council (other than the Vice-Chancellor or the deputy Vice-Chancellor) should be removed from office on the ground of misconduct or inability to perform the functions of this office, the Council shall make a recommendation to that effect to the President; and if the President, after making such enquiries (if any) as he considers appropriate, approves the recommendation he may, by an instrument in writing signed by him, remove the person in question from office.
(2) If it appears to the Council that there are reasons for believing that, the deputy Vice-Chancellor or any other person employed as a member of the staff of the university should be removed from his employment on either of the grounds aforesaid, the Council shall-
(a) give notice of those reasons to the person in question;
(b) afford him an opportunity of making representations in person on the matter to the Council; and
(c) if he or any three members of the Council so request within the period of one month beginning with the date of the notice, make arrangements-
(i) for a joint committee of the Council and the Senate to investigate the matter and to report on it to the Council; and
(ii) for the person in question to be afforded an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by the committee with respect to the matter, and if the Council after considering any representations and report made in pursuance of this subsection, is satisfied that the person in question should be removed as aforesaid, the Council may so remove him by an instrument in writing signed on the directions of the Council.
(3) If it appears to the Vice-Chancellor that a person appointed as an examiner for any examination organised by the senate ought to be removed from his appointment then except in such cases as may be prescribed, he may, after affording to the examiner an opportunity of making representations in person on the matter to the Vice-Chancellor, remove the examiner from the appointment by an instrument in writing signed by the Vice-Chancellor; and subject to the provisions of regulations made in pursuance of subsection (4) of section 5 of this Act, the Vice-Chancellor may appoint an appropriate person as examiner in the place of examiner removed in pursuance of this subsection.
(4) It shall be the duty of the person by whom an instrument of removal is signed in pursuance of this section to use his best endeavours to cause a copy of the instrument to be served as soon as reasonably practicable on the person to whom it relates.
(5) If it appears-
(a) in the case of the deputy Vice-Chancellor or any other person employed as mentioned in subsection (3) of this section, to the Vice-Chancellor, that the person in question should be removed from his employment in accordance with that subsection, the Councilor, as the case may be, the Vice-Chancellor, may by a notice signed on the directions of the Councilor by the Vice-Chancellor, prohibit him from exercising the functions of his employment with a view to his removal; and on exercising his powers under this subsection the Vice-Chancellor shall forthwith refer the case to the Council, and the Council shall give such directions in the matter as it thinks proper.
(6) Nothing in the last foregoing subsection shall be construed as affecting a person's entitlement to the emoluments of his employment during the period of any prohibition imposed in pursuance of that section.
(7) Nothing in subsection (2) or (5) of this section shall apply to employments of such descriptions as may be prescribed.
