What the notification does

Notification Ka. Mu. No. 147/A4/2010, published by the Tamil Nadu Government in the Department Heads’ Notifications supplement to the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 26 October 2011, concerns societies treated as inactive under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.

The named societies had not filed reports required under Section 16(3)(b) for more than three financial years. The notice states that their registrations will be removed from the register of societies unless an adequate reason for the failure is provided within three months from publication in the Gazette.

Who is affected

Notification Ka. Mu. No. 147/A4/2010 applies to the societies identified by registration number, year, name and address in the accompanying list. They are located in the Chidambaram registration district and include:

• Farmers’ and irrigation societies associated with canals, tanks and the Sethiyathope anicut.
• Women’s and children’s development organisations.
• Educational and cultural societies.
• Driver, vehicle owner and loading worker associations.
• Consumer protection, resident welfare, youth welfare and recreation organisations.
• A Muslim Sunnath Jamaath organisation.

Registration years shown in the supplied list range from 1988 to 2000. The locations include Chidambaram, Bhuvanagiri, Parangipettai, Kattumannarkoil and surrounding villages.

Key provisions

• The listed societies had failed to file the required reports for more than three financial years.
• The societies were therefore proposed to be treated as inactive under Section 44(3)(b) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.
• Each listed society was given three months from Gazette publication to provide an adequate reason for not filing the reports.
• If an adequate reason was not provided within that period, the society’s registration would be removed from the register of societies.
• The notice is a warning of proposed removal. It does not state that every listed registration had already been removed on the publication date.

Relevance to land and property

Notification Ka. Mu. No. 147/A4/2010 concerns the registration status of societies, including several irrigation and farmers’ associations. It does not state that land ownership, boundaries, land use or property records are changed. A buyer or owner dealing with a listed society may nevertheless need to check the society’s registration status and authority to act.
