What the Gazette issue covers
The Government of Tamil Nadu published this issue under Notifications by Heads of Departments, Etc. It contains public notices from judicial authorities concerning court closures and vacation arrangements during 2011. Its contents page also identifies two notifications under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act.
The court notices may affect a property owner, buyer or professional who needs to file a civil case, obtain copies, serve court process or pursue urgent proceedings during a vacation period. They do not, in the supplied text, change property ownership, registration requirements or land tax.
Court vacation arrangements
Notification No. VI(1)/16/2011, issued by the District Judge-cum-Chief Judicial Magistrate for the Nilgiris, provides that specified civil and sessions courts would close:
- For summer vacation from 1 May 2011 to 29 May 2011.
- For Dasara holidays from 1 October 2011 to 9 October 2011.
- For Christmas holidays, although the supplied text prints conflicting information about the closing period.
During adjournments, civil courts would generally not receive plaints or petitions, except applications for copies and for service or execution of process. Copyist and process service offices would remain open, but arrest warrants would not be executed during summer vacation.
Notification No. VI(1)/17/2011, issued by the Principal District and Sessions Judge, Madurai, sets corresponding summer, Dasara and Christmas closures for specified Madurai courts. It permits urgent civil matters to be handled by a Vacation Civil Judge if one is appointed. Urgent bail applications were to go to the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court if no Vacation Sessions Judge was appointed.
Notification No. VI(1)/18/2011 sets holidays for the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court and Judicial Magistrate Courts in Nagapattinam District. Notification No. VI(1)/19/2011 begins a similar notice for Magistrate Courts in Thiruvallur District, but the supplied text ends before the holiday list.
