What this gazette notice is

The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 3(a), No. 44, Chennai, Wednesday, October 30, 2019, carries judicial notifications titled Insolvency Petitions. The notifications were issued through the court of the Principal Subordinate Judge, Tiruppur, and the court of the Principal Subordinate Judge of Salem.

What it does

These notifications give public notice that insolvency petitions have been filed under the Provincial Insolvency Act. In the Tiruppur matters, the notices say the petitions seek either:

  • to adjudge a respondent as insolvent, or
  • to adjudge the petitioner as insolvent,
  • and in several cases, to vest the properties of that person with the Official Receiver.

The notices also state the date to which each petition stands posted.

Who may be affected

These notifications matter to:

  • the named petitioners, debtors, creditors and respondents,
  • banks, chit fund companies and finance companies named in the cases,
  • anyone dealing with property or money claims involving the named persons,
  • buyers or lenders checking whether a person is involved in insolvency proceedings.

If a person named here owns or claims property, the notice may be relevant because some petitions expressly ask for that person's properties to vest with the Official Receiver.
