The Revenue Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, issued G.O. Ms. No. 118, Revenue (SS4), dated 13th March 2014, through which the Governor of Tamil Nadu amended the Special Rules for the Tamil Nadu Survey and Land Records Service. The amendment replaces rule 4(A) and fixes 22nd February every year as the crucial date for preparing the annual list of approved candidates for appointment by promotion or recruitment by transfer.
What the notification does
The Revenue Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, issued G.O. Ms. No. 118, Revenue (SS4), dated 13th March 2014, to amend the Special Rules for the Tamil Nadu Survey and Land Records Service. Acting under the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution of India, the Governor of Tamil Nadu replaced rule 4(A) of the Special Rules with a new rule fixing the annual crucial date for preparing lists of approved candidates.
The notification was published as No. SRO B-31/2014 in Part III, Section 1(b) of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette dated 9th April 2014. The affected Special Rules are identified as Section 27 in Volume II of the Tamil Nadu Service Manual, 1969.
Main change
The substituted rule concerns the annual list of approved candidates for posts in the Tamil Nadu Survey and Land Records Service.
Key provisions are:
- The crucial date is 22nd February every year.
- The date applies when preparing the annual list of approved candidates.
- The list covers appointment to posts in the service by promotion.
- The same date also applies to appointment by recruitment by transfer.
- The previous text of rule 4(A) is replaced by the rule printed in the notification.
Who is affected
The amendment directly concerns candidates being considered for appointment to posts in the Tamil Nadu Survey and Land Records Service through promotion or recruitment by transfer. It also governs the officials responsible for preparing the service's annual approved candidate list.
For property buyers and landowners, the notification deals with an internal service rule for government appointments. Its stated subject is the timing used to prepare candidate lists, rather than the ownership, registration, classification, survey or transfer of any particular land.
Practical significance
The annual crucial date provides a fixed reference point for preparing the approved candidate list. A government employee seeking promotion or recruitment by transfer to a post in the Tamil Nadu Survey and Land Records Service would need to understand how the fixed date applies to preparation of that year's list. The notification itself does not provide further eligibility conditions, procedures or exceptions.
