The Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Department, through G.O. (D) No. 104 dated 6 March 2020, published the Governor of Tamil Nadu's notification that Jallikattu may be conducted from 8 March to 31 March 2020 in three specified villages. The notification covers Aavur in Viralimalai Taluk, Killanur in Kulathur Taluk and Venthanpatti in Ponnamaravathi Taluk, and does not state any change to land ownership or classification.
Purpose
The Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Department issued G.O. (D) No. 104 dated 6 March 2020. Under clause (dd) of section 2 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, as amended by the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Tamil Nadu Amendment) Act, 2017, the Governor of Tamil Nadu notified the places and dates where Jallikattu may be conducted.
The notified period runs from 8 March to 31 March 2020. The Gazette publication is numbered No. 105 and was published on 6 March 2020 in Part II, Section 2 of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary.
Notified places
G.O. (D) No. 104 identifies three villages and their corresponding taluks:
- Aavur village, Viralimalai Taluk.
- Killanur village, Kulathur Taluk.
- Venthanpatti village, Ponnamaravathi Taluk.
The notification permits Jallikattu to be conducted during the stated period only in the places listed in its schedule. It does not provide a separate event date for each village within that period.
Who is affected
The Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Department notification is relevant to anyone checking whether Jallikattu was officially notified for Aavur, Killanur or Venthanpatti during March 2020. The operative wording states that Jallikattu may be conducted in those places from 8 March to 31 March 2020.
The supplied Gazette page does not set out event procedures, participant requirements or conditions for conducting Jallikattu. It only specifies the legal basis, the permitted period and the three village and taluk combinations.
Relevance to property and land
G.O. (D) No. 104 is an event location notification, not a land ownership or land classification document. Although it names villages and taluks, it does not identify survey numbers, property boundaries or individual landowners. It also does not state that any land is acquired, transferred, reclassified or otherwise altered.
