Labour197714 sections

The Maharashtra Co-operative Sugar Factories (Under Erection and Certain others) (Postponement of Election) Act, 1977, was a temporary legislative measure enacted to stabilize the management of specific co-operative sugar factories in Maharashtra. It mandated the postponement of committee elections for factories listed in its schedules, effectively extending the terms of existing members and administrators. This ensured continuity of operations during a period of transition. The Act granted the State Government oversight powers, including the authority to remove committees if necessary. It ceased to be operational after October 1978, serving as a historical example of state intervention in co-operative governance.
