What the gazette covers
Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 33, Part II, Section 2, published by authority of the Government of Tamil Nadu on 14 August 2019, contains notifications of interest to sections of the public. The covered subjects are civil court administration, Employees' State Insurance exemptions and referrals of industrial disputes.
District Munsif Court at Kurinjipadi
The Home Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 382, Home (Cts-III), dated 25 July 2019, under the Tamil Nadu Civil Courts Act, 1873. It amends Home Department Notification No. II(2)/HO/162/2019, published on 20 February 2019.
The amendment makes one substitution:
- The expression “Subordinate Judge's Court at Cuddalore” is replaced with “Subordinate Judge's Court at Neyveli”.
The change concerns the notification constituting the District Munsif Court at Kurinjipadi in Cuddalore District. It may matter to court users and legal professionals dealing with the jurisdiction or administration of that court.
Employees' State Insurance exemptions
The Labour and Employment Department issued two one-year exemptions under the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948:
- G.O. (D) No. 424, Labour and Employment (L1), dated 18 July 2019, exempts Kanyakumari Medical Mission, Neyyoor, Kanyakumari District, from 8 May 2019 to 7 May 2020.
- G.O. (D) No. 433, Labour and Employment (L1), dated 22 July 2019, exempts Sivagangai District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Limited, Karaikudi, from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020.
Both exemptions require the management to maintain a register of exempted employees. Employees retain benefits earned from contributions paid before the exemption began, and contributions already paid for the exempted period will not be refunded. Required historical returns must still be submitted, and authorised officers may inspect records, premises and employment information.
Industrial dispute referrals
The Labour and Employment Department also issued G.O. (D) Nos. 444, 434, 436, 438 and 439, dated 23 or 24 July 2019. These refer disputes involving Asahi India Glass Limited at Irungattukottai and Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (Madurai) Limited to the Chennai Industrial Tribunal or Madurai Labour Court for adjudication. The adjudicating bodies are requested to give decisions within three months of receiving the respective orders.
