10. Tenure of office

Subject to any condition as may be determined, a member of the Board shall, unless he sooner resigns or vacates his office or his appointment is revoked, hold office for a term not exceeding two years and eligible for reappointment for a further term of two years upon the expiry of his term of office.

Where a member of the Board receives a note of censure or his membership is terminated, he shall cease to be a member of the Board under this Act.

A member of the Board shall be deemed to have vacated his office if he absents himself from three consecutive meetings of the Board without leave of the Board.

The Chairman may resign from office by giving notice in writing to the Board, and other members of the Board may resign from office by giving notice in writing to the Chairman, and upon such resignation being accepted by the Board or the Chairman, as the case may be, the Chairman or such member shall be deemed to have vacated his office.

Any vacancy of members of the Board shall be filled, as soon as may be, by nomination in the same manner such member of the Board who vacated the office was nominated and elected and such member so nominated and subsequently elected, shall hold office such for the remaining tenure of the preceding member of the Board.

Subject to subsection (1), any member of the Board who has held office for a period of four years consecutively, is eligible to be re-elected after a period of two years lapsed from the last date such member of the Board had held office as the member of the Board.
