Bare Act

The Orissa Requsitioing of Omribuses Act, 1984

This law empowers the Orissa government to take control of private buses during emergencies or to improve public transport services. It applies to the state transport corporation and bus owners, allowing the government to requisition vehicles, inspect them, and take possession if necessary. The state corporation operates the buses during this time, and the owner must pay for maintenance. Once the emergency or need is over, the government must return the buses in good condition, accounting for normal wear and tear. This ensures the state can maintain essential passenger services when they are most needed.
