Section 8. Removal of Chairperson and Members of Food Authority
The Central Government may, by order, remove the Chairperson or a Member who has been adjudged insolvent; convicted of an offence involving moral turpitude; become physically or mentally incapable; acquired an interest prejudicial to their functions; or so abused their position that continuing in office would be prejudicial to public interest.
No Member may be removed for the latter two grounds without being given a reasonable opportunity to be heard.
