The Tamil Nadu Government published Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 27, Part VI, Section 1 Supplement, dated 6 July 2016, under Department Heads’ Notifications. It records a District Registrar, Kanyakumari (I), Nagercoil notice dated 24 May 2016 dissolving 13 listed societies from the date of publication, and separately warns that other listed societies will be removed from the register unless a suitable explanation is received within three months of Gazette publication.
What the notifications govern
The notifications concern societies registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975, identified as Tamil Nadu Act 27 of 1975. They deal with removing the names of societies that have not acted on earlier notices or have not provided an adequate explanation.
The Gazette contains two different stages of action:
- A final dissolution notice under section 44(4) for 13 societies listed with their registration numbers, names and addresses.
- A warning under section 44(3)(b) that the names of another group of listed societies will be removed if a suitable explanation is not received within three months from Gazette publication.
Final dissolution of 13 societies
The District Registrar, Kanyakumari (I), Nagercoil states that earlier notices concerning the 13 societies were published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 7 October 2015 and 6 April 2016. As no cause was shown within the stated period, the listed societies are treated as dissolved from the publication date of the present notification.
The final list includes Human Rights Protection Council of India, District Legal Cell for Protection of Human Rights, Tamil Nadu People Human Rights and Consumer Protection Movement, Human Safety Care Society and several other human rights or consumer organisations in and around Nagercoil and Kanyakumari District.
Societies facing possible removal
The separate warning covers numerous societies registered in 1975 and 1976. The list includes residents’ welfare associations, plot owners’ associations, educational societies, employee associations, religious bodies, clubs and trade groups, mainly at Chennai and surrounding locations.
Property owners should note that names such as Chitalapakkam Plot Owners Welfare Association, Venkatesa Nagar Residents Welfare Association, Dhandeeswarar Nagar Welfare Association and Housing Board Colony Residents Association appear in this warning list. Their inclusion is a proposed removal, not the final dissolution action applied to the first 13 societies.
