Amendment of section 151 of III of 1959.

III of 1959.

NOW, THEREFORE, in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (1) of article 213 of the Constitution of India, the Governor of Maharashtra is hereby pleased to promulgate the following Ordinance, namely :––

1. (1) This Ordinance may be called the Maharashtra Village Panchayats (Amendment) Ordinance, 2020.

(2) It shall come into force at once.

2. In section 151 of the Maharashtra Village Panchayats Act, in sub-section (1), in clause (a), after the proviso, the following proviso shall be added, namely :–– “Provided further that, if due to natural calamity or emergency or war or financial emergency or administrative difficulties or epidemic disease, the panchayat elections could not be held by the State Election Commission as per the schedule, then, the State Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette,appoint a suitable person as the administrator on such panchayat.”.

The said notification ceases to have effect from the date on which the first meeting of the reconstituted panchayat is held under section 28 of the said Act.

2. The term of 1566 Gram Panchayats in 19 Districts of the State are about to end between April 2020 to June 2020 and 12668 Gram Panchayats are about to end between July 2020 to December 2020. Given the current outbreak of Covid 19 pandemic in the country, as well as, in the Maharashtra as also the lockdowns announced by the Central Government and the State Government, from time to time, there is uncertainty as to when the elections to these panchayats could be held by the State Election Commission.

In view of this, it is expedient to provide that, if due to natural calamity or emergency or war or financial emergency or administrative difficulties or epidemic disease, etc., the panchayat elections could not be held by the State Election Commission as per the schedule, then, the State Government may appoint a suitable person as the administrator on such panchayat.

3. As both Houses of the State Legislature are not in session and the Governor of Maharashtra is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action further to amend the Maharashtra Village Panchayats Act (III of 1959), for the purposes aforesaid, this Ordinance is promulgated.
