General19845 sections

The Chatrapur Notified Area Council (Postponement of Election) Act, 1984 temporarily halted municipal elections in the Chatrapur Notified Area of Odisha. It cancelled most ongoing election steps, except for ward delimitation and seat reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, and mandated that fresh elections be conducted by late December 1985. During this transitional period, the Sub-divisional Officer of Chatrapur was authorized to execute all official duties of the council and its chairman. This legislation ensured uninterrupted local administration and governance while allowing the state government time to properly reorganize electoral constituencies before holding fresh local elections.
