Bare Act

The ODISHA NOTIFIED AREA COUNCILS (EXTENSION OF TERM OF OFFICE AND VALIDATION) ACT, 1991

This legislative act regulates the official terms and past decisions of local government bodies in Odisha, India, known as Notified Area Councils. It applies to nominated chairmen and board members of five specific councils whose legal tenures had officially expired. The law retroactively extends their terms of authorization and legalizes all administrative steps, decisions, and orders made while they continued governing. This matters because it protects these municipal actions from being declared invalid by courts, preventing administrative chaos and ensuring that local public services and civic operations remain legally secure for the local citizens residing within these five governing jurisdictions.
