STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The Punjab Panchayat Samitis and Zıla Parishads ( Temporary Supersession) Act , 1978 ( Punjab Act 29 of 1978 ) was enacted in 1978 to provide for supersession of the Panchayat Samitıs and Zila Parishads in the State of Punjab for a temporary period. Under section 3 of the said Act , as amended from time to time, the maximum period of supersession shall not exceed five years . The said period of five years was to have expired on the 11th October, 1983 .
2. Every Panchayat Samiti shall consist of sixteen members who are to be elected from amongst the Panches and Sarpanches of the Gram Panchayats fa'ling within its jurisdiction . Although the general elections to the Gram Panchayats were held in September , 1983 , the administration of oaths , to the clected Panches and Sarpanches could not have been com- pleted before the 11th October , 1983 and consequently , the elections to the Panchayat Samitis and Zila Parishads could not be held before that date . The Punjab Panchayat Samitis and Zila Parishads ( Temporary Supersession ) Amendment Ordinance , 1983 was , therefore , promulgated by the Governor of Punjab on the 11th October , 1983 to extend the period of supersession from five years to five years and six months .
3. The elections to the Panchayat Samitis and Zila Parishads in the State were scheduled to be held with effect from the 23rd November , 1983 . But keeping in view the general situation in that State , the said elections had been postponed . It is , therefore , considered necessary to extend the period of supersession by a further period of one year , instead of six months as provided in the Ordinance.
4. The Bill seeks to replace the aforesaid Ordinance with the modifi- cation mentioned above .
