State Act

The Burdwan University Act, 1959

This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the Burdwan University Act, 1981 (West Bengal Act XXIII of 1981), s.57(9); it may still apply to matters that began before then.

(1) The University shall maintain and keep up-to-date in such manner as may be prescribed by Statutes a register of the names of the Principals of constituent colleges and the names of all such Principals shall be entered therein in order of their seniority. The persons entered in the register, shall, except where they are Deans of Faculties, be entitled, in order of their seniority, to be appointed, by rotation, as members of the University as provided for in clause (vi) of sub-section (1) of section 8. (2) The University shall in like manner maintain and keep up-to-date separate registers of the names of the Principals of all Government colleges, sponsored colleges, and other colleges, affiliated to it ; and the names of all such Principals shall be respectively entered therein in order of their seniority.
