Place and Dates for Conducting Jallikattu, Amendment to Notification
The Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Department issued G.O. D. No. 6 on 7 January 2021 to amend the notified dates for conducting jallikattu in Tamil Nadu. It changes the permitted period from 15 to 31 January 2021 to 14 to 31 January 2021, amending the department notification published on 5 January 2021.
What the notification does
The Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Department issued G.O. D. No. 6, dated 7 January 2021, as an amendment concerning the dates for conducting jallikattu in Tamil Nadu. The Governor of Tamil Nadu notified the amendment 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.
Date change
G.O. D. No. 6 replaces the date range stated in the Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Department notification published in Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary No. 8 on 5 January 2021.
The amendment makes the following change:
- The earlier wording allowed jallikattu to be conducted from 15 to 31 January 2021.
- The substituted wording allows jallikattu to be conducted from 14 to 31 January 2021.
- The final date remains 31 January 2021.
- The practical effect is that the notified period begins one day earlier.
Who is affected
G.O. D. No. 6 directly concerns the timing of jallikattu in Tamil Nadu during January 2021. Anyone relying on the earlier Gazette notification for the permitted dates would need to use the revised starting date of 14 January 2021.
The notification does not set out locations, event procedures, safety requirements or other conditions for conducting jallikattu. It only substitutes the stated date range in the earlier notification.
Relevance to land and property
G.O. D. No. 6 does not contain provisions about land ownership, property registration, planning permission, land classification or change of land use. A property buyer, owner or land professional would therefore find no land right or property restriction created by the text of this notification.
Gazette publication
G.O. D. No. 6 was published as notification No. II(2)/AHDF/23(a)/2021 in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary, No. 12, on 7 January 2021. The notification was signed by K. Gopal, Principal Secretary to Government.
