G.O. Ms. No. 3, Revenue [L.R.I(1)], Amendments to Notifications, 2013
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Revenue Department, issued G.O. Ms. No. 3, Revenue [L.R.I(1)], dated 4 January 2013, to amend earlier notifications under laws concerning cultivating tenants, agricultural lands of public trusts and Kudiyiruppu occupants. It replaces existing officer and area tables with revised territorial assignments for Special Deputy Collectors (Revenue Court), identifying which Revenue Court covers each listed district or taluk.
What the notifications do
G.O. Ms. No. 3, Revenue [L.R.I(1)], dated 4 January 2013, contains amendments issued by the Governor of Tamil Nadu through the Revenue Department. The amendments concern notifications under:
- The Tamil Nadu Cultivating Tenants Protection Act, 1955.
- The Tamil Nadu Cultivating Tenants (Payment of Fair Rent) Act, 1956.
- The Tamil Nadu Public Trusts (Regulation of Administration of Agricultural Lands) Act, 1961.
- The Tamil Nadu Occupants of Kudiyiruppu (Conferment of Ownership) Act, 1971.
For the first three laws, the published amendments replace earlier tables with a new table assigning specified areas to Special Deputy Collectors functioning as Revenue Courts. Two separate notifications under the Tamil Nadu Public Trusts (Regulation of Administration of Agricultural Lands) Act, 1961 are amended. The source also begins an amendment under the Kudiyiruppu law, but does not include its detailed amendment text.

The replacement tables allocate jurisdiction as follows:
- Cuddalore Revenue Court covers the entire revenue districts of Cuddalore, Villupuram, Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur.

Who may be affected
The notifications may matter to cultivating tenants, landlords, public trusts administering agricultural land, Kudiyiruppu occupants and professionals handling related Revenue Court proceedings. The published provisions mainly identify the appropriate Special Deputy Collector by location. They do not state a new fee, rent rate or ownership test.

Common questions
Does this notification change fair rent rates for cultivating tenants?
The source does not state any new fair rent rate. It replaces the table assigning areas to Special Deputy Collectors (Revenue Court) under the fair rent law.
Which Revenue Court covers land in Coimbatore district?
The Special Deputy Collector (Revenue Court), Tiruchirapalli is assigned the entire revenue district of Coimbatore in the replacement tables.
Which Revenue Court covers Madurai and Theni districts?
The Special Deputy Collector (Revenue Court), Madurai covers the entire revenue districts of Madurai and Theni, along with Dindigul, Sivagangai, Ramanathapuram and Virudhunagar.
Does the notification grant ownership to Kudiyiruppu occupants?
The source records an amendment under the Tamil Nadu Occupants of Kudiyiruppu (Conferment of Ownership) Act, 1971, but the supplied text ends before the detailed amendment is given. It therefore does not show any individual grant of ownership.
