General19744 sections

The Orissa Re-enacting Act, 1974 formally converts laws previously enacted by the President of India during President's Rule in the state into permanent state legislation. When a state is under central governance, the President can pass temporary laws for it. This Act re-enacts those presidential laws with minor formal modifications to standardize their wording for the state's regular legislative framework. It applies across the state of Odisha, affecting government authorities, courts, and residents subject to those laws. This legislation matters because it ensures legal continuity, preserving important regulations created during temporary central rule without any disruption or lapse in legal authority.
