List of Notaries Appointed and in Practice at the Beginning of the Year 2012
The Law (Administration) Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, issued G.O. Ms. No. 101 on 30th January 2012, publishing the list of notaries appointed by the Government of Tamil Nadu and in practice at the beginning of 2012. Published by the Governor of Tamil Nadu under the Notaries Act, 1952, the list records each notary’s address, qualifications, authorised practice area and certificate expiry date.
What the notification does
The List of Notaries Appointed and in Practice at the Beginning of the Year 2012 was published by the Governor of Tamil Nadu under the powers conferred by the Notaries Act, 1952. The Law (Administration) Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, issued it through G.O. Ms. No. 101 dated 30th January 2012.
The notification serves as a dated public directory. It identifies notaries appointed by the Government of Tamil Nadu who were recorded as being in practice at the beginning of 2012. It does not provide an up to date confirmation of their status after the certificate expiry dates shown.
Information recorded
The list provides the following details for each notary:
- Serial number and name.
- Residential and professional address.
- Professional qualifications.
- Geographic area in which the notary was authorised to practise.
- Date of expiry of the certificate of practice.
The supplied text contains entries under the heading “City of Chennai”. Many entries authorise practice only in the City of Chennai. Some cover additional places. For example, F.A. Rasheed is shown for the City of Chennai and Perambalur District, P.A. Deivasigamani for the City of Chennai and Kancheepuram District, and A.V. Ezhilarasu for Saidapet Taluk in Kancheepuram District and the City of Chennai.
Relevance to property owners and professionals
A property buyer, owner or professional may use the published list as historical evidence of whether a named person was included as a Tamil Nadu government appointed notary at the beginning of 2012. The authorised practice area should be checked because inclusion in the list does not give every notary authority throughout Tamil Nadu.
The certificate expiry column is also important. The displayed entries contain individual expiry dates, with some dates falling in 2012 and others extending into later years. The notification records those dates but does not state that a certificate was renewed after its listed expiry.
Limits of the publication
The Law (Administration) Department notification publishes names and professional details. It does not prescribe property registration procedures, land classifications, notarial charges or fees for property transactions.
