List of Notaries Appointed and in Practice at the Beginning of the Year 2013
The Government of Tamil Nadu, through the Law (Administration) Department, issued G.O. Ms. No. 84 dated 31 January 2013, publishing the Governor of Tamil Nadu's list of notaries appointed by the state government and in practice at the beginning of 2013. The list identifies each notary's address, qualifications, authorised area of practice and certificate expiry date, allowing members of the public to check the scope and stated expiry of a notary's authority.
What the notification does
The List of Notaries Appointed and in Practice at the Beginning of the Year 2013 was published by the Governor of Tamil Nadu under Section 6 of the Notaries Act, 1952. It appeared in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary under G.O. Ms. No. 84 of the Law (Administration) Department, dated 31 January 2013, and carries notification number II(2)/LAW/140(b)/2013.
The notification is a public reference list. It does not create rules for land ownership, registration, planning permission or land use.
Who may need it
The published list may be relevant to a property buyer, owner, lawyer or other person who needs to confirm whether a named person was listed as a Tamil Nadu government appointed notary at the beginning of 2013.
The supplied entries are grouped under the City of Chennai. Some entries authorise practice only within the City of Chennai, while others include an additional area, such as Kancheepuram District, Perambalur District or Saidapet Taluk in Kancheepuram District.
Information provided for each notary
The table records the following details:
- Serial number and name of the notary.
- Residential and professional address.
- Professional qualifications.
- Area in which the notary was authorised to practise.
- Date of expiry of the certificate of practice.
The listed expiry dates vary by notary. A reader should therefore check the individual entry rather than assume that every person in the publication had the same certificate period.
Practical points for document users
- Match the notary's name with the published residential or professional address where possible.
- Check whether the authorised area covers the place relevant to the document or transaction.
- Check the certificate expiry date printed against the individual notary.
- Treat the publication as a record of notaries described as being in practice at the beginning of 2013. The source text does not state that every listed certificate remained valid after its printed expiry date.
- The list records qualifications and authority to practise, but it does not confirm the legal effect of any particular notarised property document.
