Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, No. 34, Part VI, Section 1 (34 VI 1 v4)
The Government of Tamil Nadu published Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Number 34, Part VI, Section 1, on 19 August 2020, containing notifications issued by heads of departments, including Notification Number VI(1)/276/2020 on court closures in Kancheepuram District. The contents also list a variation to the Approved Master Plan for the Madurai Local Planning Area, but the supplied text does not include the variation notification or identify the affected land.
What the gazette covers
Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Number 34, Part VI, Section 1, published by the Government of Tamil Nadu on 19 August 2020, contains notifications of public interest issued by heads of departments. The supplied text mainly covers court vacations and holidays for 2020 in Kancheepuram and Thanjavur districts. Its contents page also lists court notifications for Erode and Tiruvarur districts and a variation to the Approved Master Plan for the Madurai Local Planning Area.
Relevance to land and property
The contents page lists “Variation to the Approved Master Plan for The Madurai Local Planning Area” at page 114. However, the supplied source does not reproduce the operative notification. It does not identify:
- the planning authority that issued the variation
- the notification or order number for the variation
- the survey numbers, villages or sites affected
- the existing and revised land use classifications
- any conditions attached to the variation
A buyer, owner or professional therefore cannot determine from the supplied text whether a particular Madurai property is affected. The text establishes only that a master plan variation appears in this gazette issue.

Notification Number VI(1)/276/2020, issued by Principal District Judge N. Vasanthaleela and dated 16 December 2019, concerns Civil and Sessions Courts in the Kancheepuram District unit at Chengalpattu. Key provisions include:
