Authorising Certain Member of State Human Rights Commission to Act as the Chairperson of the Commission under the Protection of Human Rights Act
The Public Department (Human Rights), Government of Tamil Nadu, issued G.O. Ms. No. 1344, Public (Human Rights), dated 4 December 2013, authorising Tmt. Jayanthi, Indian Administrative Service (Retired), a Member of the State Human Rights Commission Tamil Nadu, to act as its Chairperson instead of Thiru K. Baskaran. The authorisation continues until a new Chairperson is appointed and contains no provision concerning land or property.
What the notification does
G.O. Ms. No. 1344, Public (Human Rights), dated 4 December 2013, is an administrative notification about the leadership of the State Human Rights Commission Tamil Nadu. The Governor of Tamil Nadu authorises Tmt. Jayanthi, Indian Administrative Service (Retired), who was a Member of the Commission, to act as its Chairperson.
The authorisation places Tmt. Jayanthi in the acting role instead of Thiru K. Baskaran. It remains effective until a new Chairperson is appointed to the Commission.
Legal basis
The Governor of Tamil Nadu exercised the power conferred by sub-section (1) of Section 25 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 (Central Act No. 10 of 1994).
The notification does not amend the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. It records the use of a power under that Act to make a temporary leadership arrangement for the Commission.
Who it affects
G.O. Ms. No. 1344 directly concerns:
- Tmt. Jayanthi, Indian Administrative Service (Retired), as the Member authorised to act as Chairperson.
- Thiru K. Baskaran, instead of whom Tmt. Jayanthi is authorised to act.
- The State Human Rights Commission Tamil Nadu, whose acting leadership is identified.
- People dealing with the Commission who need to know who was authorised to act as Chairperson during this period.
Relevance to land and property
G.O. Ms. No. 1344 does not contain any provision about land ownership, property title, registration, planning permission, land use, acquisition, valuation, tax or development. The notification therefore does not state any requirement or procedure for a Tamil Nadu property buyer, owner or land professional.
