What the notification does
The Co-operation, Food and Consumer Protection Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 9, Co-operation, Food and Consumer Protection (CJ2), dated 31 January 2013, to appoint the dates on which the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies (Sixth Amendment) Ordinance, 2012 would come into force. The notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary on 31 January 2013.
The notification was made by the Governor of Tamil Nadu using the power given by sub-section (2) of Section 1 of the Ordinance. It deals only with commencement dates. The source text does not describe the substantive amendments made by the Ordinance.
Commencement dates
The Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies (Sixth Amendment) Ordinance, 2012, identified as Tamil Nadu Ordinance 1 of 2013, came into operation in two stages:
- All provisions other than Sections 14 and 15 came into force on 31 January 2013.
- Sections 14 and 15 came into force on 9 February 2013.
This means Sections 14 and 15 did not take effect on the same date as the remaining provisions.
Who may be affected
The Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies (Sixth Amendment) Ordinance, 2012 concerns matters governed by that Ordinance. The commencement notification may therefore matter to co-operative societies and to people or organisations whose rights, duties or activities are covered by its provisions.
For a property buyer, owner or professional, the notification is relevant only where a transaction or issue is governed by the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies (Sixth Amendment) Ordinance, 2012. The source text does not identify particular types of property, transactions, societies or persons affected, and it does not set out any procedure, fee or application requirement.
Practical point
The relevant commencement date depends on the provision being considered. A matter involving Sections 14 or 15 must be assessed from 9 February 2013, while a matter involving any other provision covered by the notification must be assessed from 31 January 2013.
