STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The local authorities specified in the Fourth Schedule to the Representation of the People Act , 1950 , in pursuance of article 171 ( 3 ) of the Constitution read with section 27 (2 ) of the above- mentioned Act form the basis of the electorate of local authorities ' constituencies of the State Legislative Councils . Unless the lists of these local authorities are kept up- to- date , there are difficulties in the holding of bye - elections from the local authorities ' constituen- cies . With the inauguration in the States , of Panchayat Raj , the list of local authorities appearing in the Fourth Schedule to the Representation of the People Act , 1950 requires modification . The States of Andhra Pradesh , Mysore and West Bengal have suggested the following changes in the list of local authorities : -
1. Andhra Pradesh . Entry No. 4 , " City and Town Com- mittees " , may be deleted .
2. Mysore . " Town Panchayats " may be added to the existing entries .
3. West Bengal " District Boards " and " Local Boards " may be substituted by " Zilla Parishads " and " Anchalik Parishads " . Also, " Town Committees " may be added to the list .
Any change in the lists of these local authorities can only be effected by Parliament by law . Accordingly the Bill seeks to make the necessary changes in the lists of local authorities in the Fourth Schedule to give effect to the above proposals of the State Govern- ments .
