TRANSITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS ) ACT, 1995
The Andhra Pradesh Gram Panchayats (Transitional) (Arrangement) Act, 1995
The Andhra Pradesh Gram Panchayats (Transitional) (Arrangement) Act, 1995 provides temporary administrative arrangements for village governance across the state of Andhra Pradesh. It applies to local village bodies whose elected officials, such as Sarpanches, have ceased to hold office. The law enables the state government to appoint special persons-in-charge or committees to handle daily municipal duties, exercise administrative powers, and ensure uninterrupted local public services. These temporary committees can serve for a maximum period of one year. This legislation matters because it prevents administrative vacuums in rural governance during transitional periods before new panchayat elections are held.
