State Act
Section 5. Appointment in default of election.
The West Bengal Secondary Education Act, 1950
This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education Act, 1963 (5 of 1963), s.46; it may still apply to matters that began before then.
5. (1) If by such date as may be prescribed by rules any electoral body specified in section 4 fails to make an election under that section, the State Government shall by notification call upon such electoral body to make the election within a period to be specified in such notification, and if the said electoral body fails to make the election within the period so specified, the State Government shall, in any vacancy resulting from such failure, appoint a suitable person qualified for election by that body : Provided that, where such body is the State Legislative Assembly and where the said Assembly has been dissolved, the State Government shall appoint such suitable person as it thinks fit to hold office until the said Assembly is reconstituted and three representatives are elected by the Members thereof. (2) A person appointed under this section shall be deemed to be a member of the Board duly elected under section 4.
