(1) The Chairman may direct that any case may, instead of being brought up for discussion at a meeting of the Board, be circulated by sending a note in the prescribed form amongst the members of the Board for opinion. If all the members unanimously agree for the proposal contained in the note circulated, it shall be deemed to be affirmative decision of the Board and further action taken accordingly. If there is any difference of opinion on any particular subject taken up for the decision of the Board by circulation, the Commissioner shall refer the matter to the State Government, and the decision of the State Government thereon shall be final.
(2) In cases which are circulated for opinion under sub-section (1), if any member fails to communicate his opinion to the Commissioner by a date to be specified in the note, it shall be presumed that such member has accepted the proposal contained in the note circulated.
(3) The provisions of section 14 shall mutatis mutandis apply to the decisions of the Board by circulation under this section.
