Who the notification affects
The Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Department notification is relevant to people concerned with conducting or attending Jallikattu in the nine listed villages during the notified period. It does not provide a general permission for every village in Tiruchirappalli district, because it names particular villages and taluks.
Relevance to land and property
G.O. Ms. No. 26 does not change land ownership, land classification, planning permission, building rights or property registration. It only identifies places and dates for conducting Jallikattu under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. A property buyer or owner would therefore use the notification only as a historical record that Jallikattu was permitted in the listed villages during the stated period.
