Constitution of One Subordinate Judge’s Court to Deal with MCOP Cases at Coimbatore under Tamil Nadu Civil Courts Act
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Home (Courts II) Department, issued G.O. Ms. No. 555 on 19th July 2012 to constitute one Subordinate Judge’s Court at Coimbatore for dealing with MCOP cases. It fixes the number of Subordinate Judges, establishes Coimbatore as the court location and gives the court jurisdiction over the entire Coimbatore District, effective when the Subordinate Judge assumes charge.
What the notification does
G.O. Ms. No. 555, issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu, Home (Courts II) Department, on 19th July 2012, makes four connected arrangements under the Tamil Nadu Civil Courts Act, 1873. Together, they establish the staffing, location and territorial jurisdiction of a Subordinate Judge’s Court at Coimbatore to deal with MCOP cases.
The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the first two arrangements after consultation with the High Court, Madras.
Key provisions
The notifications published under G.O. Ms. No. 555 provide that:
- The number of Subordinate Judges to be appointed for Coimbatore District is fixed at six.
- The number of Subordinate Judges to be appointed to the Subordinate Judge’s Court at Coimbatore is fixed at one.
- Coimbatore is fixed as the place where the Subordinate Judge’s Court will be held.
- The entire Coimbatore District is fixed as the local jurisdiction of the Subordinate Judge’s Court, Coimbatore.
- The staffing arrangements take effect from the date on which the Subordinate Judge assumes charge of the court.
Who is affected
G.O. Ms. No. 555 directly concerns the administration of the civil courts in Coimbatore District. It is relevant to people with MCOP cases, lawyers handling those cases, court staff and others who need to identify the court’s location and territorial jurisdiction.
The notification gives the Subordinate Judge’s Court at Coimbatore jurisdiction throughout Coimbatore District. It does not divide that jurisdiction into smaller areas within the district.
Relevance to property owners and buyers
G.O. Ms. No. 555 does not create or change rules on land ownership, registration, planning permission, land use or property transfers. Its subject is the constitution and jurisdiction of a court for MCOP cases.
A property buyer or owner is therefore not directly affected merely because they own or intend to buy land in Coimbatore District. The notification may matter only if the person is involved in an MCOP case that falls within the stated court jurisdiction.
