Home Department and other notifications in Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 24, Part II, Section 2

What this gazette contains

Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 24, Part II, Section 2, published by the Government of Tamil Nadu on 29 June 2011, brings together notifications from the Agriculture Department, Commercial Taxes and Registration Department, Highways and Minor Ports Department, and Home Department. It is not a single land order. It is a collection of official notices that affect administration, police jurisdiction, courts, and one land acquisition correction.

What may matter for land owners and buyers

For land records and location checks, the most relevant item is the Highways and Minor Ports Department errata issued in Letter No. 6201/HW2/2011-1, Highways and Minor Ports (HW2), dated 25 May 2011.

That errata corrects an earlier public notice published in Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 10, Part II, Section 2, dated 16 March 2011, about acquisition of lands in Thiruvottiyur Village, Ward-C, Block 15 and Block 16, Madhavaram Taluk, Thiruvallur District, for widening and strengthening of Chennai, Ennore Road.

Key correction stated in the gazette:

• At Page No. 124, Ward-C, Block-15, 2nd paragraph, 4th line, the extent printed as "0001.0 Square Metres" must be read as "0011.0 Square Metres".

Railway police jurisdiction changes

The Home Department issued several notifications under the Code of Criminal Procedure, all dated 6 June 2011, redefining local areas for newly upgraded railway police stations.

These include:

• Government Order Ms. No. 303, Home (Pol-XIV), dated 6 June 2011, for Dindigul Railway Police Station in Trichy Railway Police District.
• Government Order Ms. No. 306, Home (Pol-XIV), dated 6 June 2011, for Royapuram Railway Police Station in Chennai Railway Police District.
• Government Order Ms. No. 307, Home (Pol-XIV), dated 6 June 2011, for Tiruvallur Railway Police Station in Chennai Railway Police District.
• Government Order Ms. No. 309, Home (Pol-XIV), dated 6 June 2011, for Karur Railway Police Station in Trichy Railway Police District.

These notifications move listed local areas from existing railway police stations to the newly upgraded stations. This matters if you need to know which railway police station has jurisdiction over a railway area or related locality named in the schedules.

Ariyalur court changes

The Home Department also issued a set of notifications in Government Order Ms. No. 326, Home (Courts.III), dated 16 June 2011, under the Tamil Nadu Civil Courts Act, 1873.

The gazette states that:

• A District Court is established at Ariyalur.
• The number of District Courts for Ariyalur District is fixed as one, from the date the District Judge, Ariyalur assumes charge.
• Ariyalur is fixed as the place where the District Court of Ariyalur shall be held.
• Earlier notifications on the subject are superseded for the matters where the gazette says so.
• Local limits are fixed or varied for the District Courts and Subordinate Judges Courts of Perambalur and Ariyalur.

For court jurisdiction reference, the table shows Ariyalur District Court covering Ariyalur, Udayarpalayam and Sendurai taluks.
