Statutory text
  1. (1) If in the opinion of the Government a Parishad is not competent to perform or persistently makes default in performing the duties imposed on it by law or exceeds or abuses its powers, they may, by notification published in the prescribed manner, direct that the Parishad be dissolved and immediately reconstituted. The notification shall specify the time within which the Parishad shall be reconstituted: Provided that for the purpose of completing the elections to a Parishad which has been dissolved, the Government may, from time to time, extend the time fixed by them under this sub-section not exceeding six months in the aggregate, for its reconstitution.
  2. (2) Before publishing a notification under sub-section (1), the Government shall communicate to the Parishad the grounds on which they propose to do so, fix a reasonable period for the Parishad to show cause against the proposal and consider the explanations and objections, if any, of such Parishad.
  3. (3) Upon the publication of such a notification all the members of the Parishad including its President and Vice-President shall forthwith be deemed to have vacated their offices as such and fresh election shall be held in the prescribed manner.
  4. (4) During any interval between the dissolution and the reconstitution of a Parishad directed under sub-section (1), all or any of the powers and duties of the Parishad and its President may be exercised and discharged, as far as may be and to such extent as the Government may determine, by such person or persons as they may appoint in that behalf.
  5. (5) In all or any of the reasons specified in sub-section
  6. (1) the Government may, by notification published in the prescribed manner, instead of dissolving a Parishad and reconstituting it, supersede it for any period which they may deem fit, whereupon, the relevant provisions of section 29 shall mutatis mutandis apply.
