Power of majority and exercise of powers

(1) Where any Act confers a power or imposes a duty upon a body or number of persons consisting of or being not less than three, such power may be exercised or duty performed in the name of that body or number of persons by a majority of those persons. (2) Whenever such body or number of persons is assembled, the Chairperson or other member presiding shall have a casting as well as a deliberative vote in all matters in which a decision is taken by vote by whatever name such vote may be called. (3) The exercise of any power vested in such body or number of persons may be signified either by the Chairperson or other person presiding at the meeting or other deliberation at which such power was exercised or at which, as the case may be, authority to exercise it was conferred, or by any person from time to time authorized by such body or persons to signify the exercise of such power.
