G.O. Ms. No. 870, Public (Buildings), 21st September 2011
The Government of Tamil Nadu, through the Public Department (Buildings), issued G.O. Ms. No. 870, Public (Buildings), dated 21st September 2011, to amend an earlier notification appointing a Commission of Inquiry into alleged irregularities in the construction of the New Secretariat Complex at Omandurar Government Estate, Chennai. The amendment replaces the period of “three months” in paragraph 3 of the earlier notification with “six months”.
What the notification does
G.O. Ms. No. 870, Public (Buildings), dated 21st September 2011, was issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu through the Public Department (Buildings). Acting under the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952, the Governor of Tamil Nadu amended Public (Buildings) Department Notification No. II(2)/PUBG/286(c)/2011, dated 22nd June 2011.
The earlier notification appointed a Commission of Inquiry concerning the construction of the New Secretariat Complex at Omandurar Government Estate, Chennai. The inquiry concerns allegations including excess expenditure causing loss to the exchequer and deficiencies in construction standards.
Key change
G.O. Ms. No. 870 makes one stated change to paragraph 3 of the earlier notification:
- The expression “three months” is replaced with “six months”.
- No other amendment is described in the supplied notification.
- The amendment relates to the notification appointing the Commission of Inquiry.
Who may be affected
G.O. Ms. No. 870 directly concerns the Commission of Inquiry and the inquiry into the New Secretariat Complex construction. It may also be relevant to government departments, officials, contractors or other persons involved in the matters being examined by the Commission, although the notification does not list particular individuals or organisations.
The notification does not establish a general rule about private land, property registration, ownership, planning permission or land use. A property buyer or owner would therefore use it mainly as a public record concerning the government inquiry, rather than as a document setting requirements for an ordinary property transaction.
