– Statement 2 is correct. Article 243E(3) of the Constitution states that a Panchayat constituted upon the premature dissolution of a Panchayat shall continue only for the remainder of the period for which the dissolved Panchayat would have continued under clause (1) had it not been so dissolved. However, if the remainder period is less than six months, it shall not be necessary to hold any election for constituting the Panchayat for such period.
