1975ம் ஆண்டு தமிழ்நாடு சங்கங்கள் பதிவுச் சட்டம் பிரிவு 44(3)(b)ன் கீழான அறிவிக்கை (எண்.808/ஈ2/2012)

What the notification does

Notification Number 808/E2/2012 of the South Chennai Registrar of Societies Office was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 23 May 2012. It gives notice of the proposed dissolution of 59 registered societies that had not filed required reports with the Registrar for more than three financial years.

The notification was published under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. It is a proposal and final warning, rather than a statement that every listed society had already been dissolved on the publication date.

Who is affected

Notification Number 808/E2/2012 directly affects the societies identified by registration number, year, name and address. The list includes residents' welfare bodies, flat owners' associations, religious and cultural organisations, clubs, educational bodies, workers' groups and other welfare associations.

Property related bodies in the list include:

• HIG Flats Allottees Welfare Association, registration 216/1983.
• Appu Colony Owners Association, registration 230/1983.
• Sundar Nagar Annexe Flat Owners Association, registration 245/1983.
• Sriyards Apartments, Srinagar Colony, Residential Service Society, registration 246/1983.
• Cosmos Flats Owners Association, registration 271/1983.
• Subiksha Apartments Welfare Association, registration 281/1983.
• Several neighbourhood and residents' welfare associations in Avadi, Velacherry, Adambakkam, Thiruvanmiyur, Tambaram, Chromepet and other Chennai areas.

A buyer, owner or professional dealing with one of these associations may need to check its registration status. The notification concerns society registration and filing compliance. It does not state any change to ownership of land or flats.

Key provisions

• If no proper grounds were provided within that period, the society's name would be removed from the register of societies and the society dissolved.
• The schedule contains 59 societies, mainly registered in 1983, with two entries shown as registered in 1982.
