State Act

THE UNITED PROVINCES PANCHAYAT RAJ ACT, 1947

This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the Uttarakhand Panchayati Raj Act, 2016 (Uttarakhand Act 11 of 2016), s.194(1); it may still apply to matters that began before then.

[12-J (1) Where the office of Pradhan is vacant by reason of death, removal, and resignation or otherwise or where the Pradhan is incapable to act by reason of absence, illness or otherwise, the Up-Pradhan shall exercise all powers and discharge all duties of the Pradhan. (2) Where the offices of both, Pradhan and Up Pradhan are vacant for any reason whatsoever, or when both, Pradhan and Up-Pradhan are incapable to act for any reason whatsoever, the prescribed authority shall nominate a member of a [Gram Panchayat] to discharge the duties and exercise the powers of the Pradhan until such vacancy in the office of either the Pradhan or the Up Pradhan is filled in, or until such incapacity of either of the two is removed.]2
