Appointment of Commission of Inquiry into Alleged Fraudulent Grabbing of Assigned Land in Siruthavur Village, Amendment to Notification
The Government of Tamil Nadu Revenue Department, through G.O. Ms. No. 356, Revenue (LD 3(2)), dated 24th September 2009, amended the notification appointing a Commission of Inquiry into allegations of fraudulent grabbing of land assigned to Adi-Dravidars and landless poor in Siruthavur Village, Chengalpattu Taluk, Kancheepuram District. The amendment replaces the Commission's previous deadline of the afternoon of 30th September 2009 with the afternoon of 30th November 2009.
What the notification does
G.O. Ms. No. 356, Revenue (LD 3(2)), dated 24th September 2009, was issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu Revenue Department. Acting under the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952, the Governor of Tamil Nadu amended an earlier Public (Law & Order) Department notification concerning the period allowed for a Commission of Inquiry.
The amendment was published as Notification No. II(2)/REV/510(a)/2009 in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary on 1st October 2009.
Land and allegations covered
The Commission of Inquiry concerns allegations of fraudulent grabbing of land assigned to Adi-Dravidars and landless poor in:
- Siruthavur Village
- Chengalpattu Taluk
- Kancheepuram District
The notification identifies the subject of the inquiry as assigned land and the alleged fraudulent grabbing of that land. It does not set out findings on the allegations or identify individual properties, owners or alleged offenders.
Key change
The Revenue Department amendment changes paragraph 4 of Public (Law & Order) Department Notification No. II(2)/PULO/382(b)/2006, which was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary dated 27th July 2006 and was subsequently amended.
The only substitution stated is:
- Previous period: up to the afternoon of 30th September 2009.
- Revised period: up to the afternoon of 30th November 2009.
The amendment therefore gives the Commission of Inquiry a further period ending on the afternoon of 30th November 2009.
Who may be affected
G.O. Ms. No. 356 may be relevant to Adi-Dravidars, landless poor and others concerned with land assigned to those groups in Siruthavur Village. It may also be relevant to buyers, owners or professionals examining whether land in that village was part of the allegations placed before the Commission.
The notification itself only extends the inquiry period. It does not announce the Commission's conclusions, cancel an assignment, transfer ownership or describe any specific survey number or parcel of land.
