What the notifications do

The Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Tirunelveli, ordered 21 co-operative stores to be wound up under section 137(2) of the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies Act, 1983. The Co-operative Sub-Registrar (Prosecution), Office of the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Tirunelveli, was appointed as official liquidator under section 138(1).

The relevant Rc. orders are dated 4 March 2014, 6 March 2014 and 7 March 2014. Several entries also carry Gazette notification numbers No. VI(1)/188/2014 to No. VI(1)/193/2014.

Co-operative stores affected

The winding-up directions cover:

• Thiruvengadam, Sankarankoil Comathiammal, Veerasigamani, Sivalaperi, Alamanaickerpatti, Kuruvikulam Gopal Naicker, Palamadai, Senthamaram and Vellalankulam government school student stores.
• Karivalamvanthanallur, Sankarankovil Government Girls, Sevalkulam, Kaligapatti, C.N. Ramasamy Raja and Periyakovilankulam government school student stores.
• St. Joseph's Girls, St. John's, Pettai Kamaraj Municipal, Srikanthimathiambal Girls and Cathedral higher secondary school student stores.
• M.D.K. Co-operative Management Training Staff and Students Co-operative Store.

The Vellalankulam entry is headed as T.S. 16 Vellalankulam Government Higher Secondary School Students Co-operative Store, while its order text spells the place as Vellamkulam.

Who may be affected

The notifications directly concern the named co-operative stores and their liquidation administration. Anyone dealing with one of these stores should note that its affairs were ordered to be wound up and that an official liquidator was appointed.

The supplied text does not create a general land-use, registration, building or property-transfer rule. It also does not identify particular land parcels, survey numbers or ownership changes. A property buyer or owner is therefore affected only if a transaction or interest is connected with one of the listed co-operative stores or its affairs.

Key points

• Twenty-one co-operative stores are covered.
• Winding up was ordered under the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies Act, 1983.
• One designated office was appointed as official liquidator for each listed store.
• The notifications were published in Part VI, Section 1 of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 14 May 2014.
