The Odisha Panchayat Samiti (Re-Election of Office Bearers) Act, 1981

This Act manages the termination of office and appointment of replacements for leaders in local self-government bodies known as Panchayat Samitis. It specifically targets officers elected after a certain date whose terms ended just prior to the cut-off in late 1980, declaring their service concluded at the beginning of December. The statute requires quick elections to fill these empty positions and designates an administrative officer to manage duties until new leaders are chosen. It effectively invalidates an older ordinance to establish a clear legal framework for these local government transitions.
