The Government of Tamil Nadu, Home (Courts II) Department, issued G.O. Ms. No. 666 on 26th July 2010 to amend an earlier Home Department notification concerning judges of designated courts under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987. The amendment replaces entry (4) in the relevant table with Thiru M. Chinnapandi, Principal District and Sessions Judge, Tiruchirappalli.
Purpose of the notification
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Home (Courts II) Department, published G.O. Ms. No. 666 on 26th July 2010 as an amendment concerning judges of designated courts under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987. The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendment with the concurrence of the Chief Justice, High Court, Madras.
The notification states that the amendment was made using the powers conferred by sub-section (4) of Section 9 of the Act.
What is changed
G.O. Ms. No. 666 amends Home Department Notification No. II (2)/HO/5124(d-5)/92, which was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary dated 21st October 1992 and had subsequently been amended.
The operative change is limited to one entry in the table attached to that earlier notification:
- Entry (4) in column (1) is replaced.
- The replacement entry is Thiru M. Chinnapandi.
- His position is given as Principal District and Sessions Judge, Tiruchirappalli.
The Gazette does not reproduce the remainder of the table or make any other stated change to the earlier notification.
Who is affected
G.O. Ms. No. 666 directly concerns the identification of a judge in a notification dealing with designated courts under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987. It is relevant to the named judge, the designated court framework covered by the earlier notification, and persons dealing with proceedings under that framework.
The amendment does not set out general court procedures, change the text of the Act, or provide details about cases before the designated courts.
Relevance to land and property
G.O. Ms. No. 666 does not contain provisions about land ownership, sale, registration, planning permission, land use, patta, acquisition, tenancy, property tax or building approval. A property buyer or owner would not ordinarily rely on this Gazette notification for a land transaction because its stated subject is the replacement of a judicial entry in an earlier designated courts notification.
Publication details
The amendment appeared in Part II, Section 2 of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary, No. 221, published at Chennai on 26th July 2010. It was signed by K. Gnanadesikan, Principal Secretary to Government.
