Section 5 of TPA : Section 5: President And Vice-President Of Central Council

Explanation using Example

Imagine there is a group called the Central Council of Pharmacy, which is responsible for overseeing the pharmacy profession in a country. According to Section 5 of The Pharmacy Act, 1948, this council needs to elect a President and a Vice-President from among its members. Let's say Dr. Smith, a member of the Central Council, is elected as the President. He can serve as President for up to five years, but not past the end of his current term as a council member. However, if Dr. Smith is re-elected to the council before his term ends, he can continue as President for the full five-year term, even if his new council term starts later.
