The Andhra Pradesh Abolition of the Posts of Village Assistants Act, 1991
General19916 sections
The Andhra Pradesh Abolition of the Posts of Village Assistants Act, 1991 formally eliminated the administrative post of Village Assistants across Andhra Pradesh. Applying to all individuals serving in these roles, the legislation immediately abolished their positions and terminated their employment, overriding any prior court decrees or administrative orders. To address the resulting workforce displacement, the statute mandated an ex-gratia financial payment for affected personnel, subject to government-prescribed limits. This law matters because it reorganized local administrative structures in the state while establishing clear financial compensation rules for dislocated public servants.
