What the Gazette covers
Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, No. 40, Part II, Section 2 contains notifications issued by the Home Department and the Labour and Employment Department. For property owners and buyers, its main possible relevance is the allocation of civil court jurisdiction in Aranthangi and Lalgudi. It does not state that any property title, boundary, land use or revenue record is changed.
Court changes
The Home Department issued the following measures under the Tamil Nadu Civil Courts Act, 1873:
- G.O. Ms. No. 693, Home (Cts-III), dated 13 September 2017, converts the existing II Additional District Munsif Court at Bhavani into Judicial Magistrate Court No. II, Bhavani. It sets the number of District Munsifs for Erode District at nine and the number for Bhavani at two from the conversion date.
- G.O. Ms. No. 722, Home (Cts-III), dated 25 September 2017, constitutes a Subordinate Judge's Court at Aranthangi. It sets one Subordinate Judge for that court and makes Aranthangi its location.
- G.O. Ms. No. 722 also removes the relevant Aranthangi area from the jurisdiction of the Subordinate Judge's Court at Pudukkottai. The new Aranthangi Sub-Court covers the local limits of the District Munsif's Court at Aranthangi, except Keeramangalam Firka of Alangudi Taluk, from the date the judge assumes charge.
- G.O. Ms. No. 725, Home (Cts-III), dated 25 September 2017, constitutes a Sub-Court at Lalgudi. The Subordinate Judge's Court at Tiruchirappalli ceases to have jurisdiction over the District Munsif's Court at Lalgudi when the Lalgudi judge assumes charge.
- The Gazette also carries a heading announcing an Additional Sub-Court at Namakkal.
Employment disputes
The Labour and Employment Department referred specified disputes for adjudication through G.O. (D) No. 566 dated 14 September 2017, G.O. (D) No. 551 dated 7 September 2017, G.O. (D) No. 558 dated 8 September 2017, and G.O. (D) No. 543 dated 28 August 2017.
These referrals concern wage and allowance demands or disciplinary action involving a private company and Tamil Nadu state transport undertakings. They do not decide those claims. They send the listed questions to the Industrial Tribunal at Chennai or the Labour Courts at Madurai and Tirunelveli for adjudication.

Common questions
Does this Gazette change my patta, land title or property boundary?
No such change is stated. The Gazette deals with court organisation and employment dispute referrals, not land ownership, land classification or property records.
Which Sub-Court covers Aranthangi property disputes?
G.O. Ms. No. 722, Home (Cts-III), dated 25 September 2017, gives the Aranthangi Subordinate Judge's Court jurisdiction over the local limits of the District Munsif's Court at Aranthangi, except Keeramangalam Firka of Alangudi Taluk. The change applies from the date the Subordinate Judge assumes charge.
When does the Lalgudi Sub-Court take over jurisdiction?
G.O. Ms. No. 725, Home (Cts-III), dated 25 September 2017, applies from the date the Subordinate Judge assumes charge at Lalgudi. At that point, the Tiruchirappalli Subordinate Judge's Court ceases to have jurisdiction over the District Munsif's Court at Lalgudi.
Did the Gazette approve the workers' wage and allowance demands?
No. The Labour and Employment Department referred the listed disputes and demands to the relevant Industrial Tribunal or Labour Court for adjudication.
