This Act governs the re-election of office-bearers for Panchayat Samitis in Orissa. It specifically targets the Chairman, Vice-chairman, and members whose terms ended between June 25, 1975, and March 21, 1977. The law mandates that these officials vacate their posts on a specific appointed date and requires fresh elections to be held within three months, extendable to four years. During the interim, a Subdivisional Officer assumes the Chairman's powers to ensure governance continues smoothly. The newly elected office-bearers will serve a three-year term, ensuring local administration remains stable and functional.
