What the Gazette supplement does
The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1 Supplement, published on 8 February 2017, contains notifications concerning registered societies under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. The notices deal with removal of societies from the register, not with registration or transfer of land.
Removal of Hope Rehabilitation Institute for Disabled
The notification bearing reference number 3940/A3/2015 states that Hope Rehabilitation Institute for Disabled asked to be dissolved and removed from the official records. The reasons recorded are that its office bearers could not continue running it because of advanced age and family circumstances, and that it could not be merged with another society.
The notice confirms that action was taken under section 44(4) and that the society was removed from the register. It is dated 5 December 2016 at Cuddalore and is signed by K. Malarvizhi, District Registrar.
