Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part II, Section 1, No. 18 (18 II 1)
The Government of Tamil Nadu, through the Co-operation, Food and Consumer Protection Department under G.O. Ms. No. 15, Co-operation, Food and Consumer Protection (C2), dated 24 February 2009, republished a Central Government amendment removing specified provisions from the Kerosene (Restriction on Use and Fixation of Ceiling Price) Order, 1993. The Governor of Tamil Nadu, through the Housing and Urban Development Department under G.O. Ms. No. 52, Housing and Urban Development (Bud. 2), dated 6 April 2009, amended an earlier notification under the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960, concerning judicial entries for Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri districts. Both notifications amend earlier instruments rather than replacing them.
