The correct answer is: B. Punjab Gram Panchayat Act, 1952.
The Punjab Gram Panchayat Act, 1952 was enacted by the Government of Punjab to provide for the establishment and constitution of Gram Panchayats in the State of Punjab. The Act was applicable to all the districts of Punjab, except the hill districts of Kangra, Kullu, Lahul and Spiti.
The Act provided for the establishment of Gram Panchayats in every village having a population of not less than 500. The Gram Panchayat was to consist of a Sarpanch and a number of Panches, to be elected by the adult residents of the village. The Sarpanch was to be the head of the Gram Panchayat and the Panches were to be its members.
The Act also provided for the powers and functions of the Gram Panchayats. The Gram Panchayats were to have the power to levy taxes, to undertake development works in the village, to maintain law and order in the village, and to perform such other functions as were entrusted to them by the State Government.
The Punjab Gram Panchayat Act, 1952 was repealed by the Haryana Panchayati Raj Act, 1994. The Haryana Panchayati Raj Act, 1994 is the present law governing the Panchayati Raj institutions in the State of Haryana.
