Relevance to property matters
G.O. (2D). No. 17 is an appointment notification, not a land classification, ownership or registration notification. It does not identify any property, change the status or use of any land, set a fee, or provide a procedure for buying, selling or registering property.
A property buyer or owner should therefore use the notification only as evidence of the listed Tamil Nadu Waqf Board appointments. The source text does not make any decision about a particular parcel of land or state that any person named in it owns or controls specific property.
