It also provides an official Gazette record for anyone checking whether that location and date were notified by the Government of Tamil Nadu for Jallikattu.

Effect on land and property records
G.O. Ms. No. 75 records permission for Jallikattu at the stated place and date. It does not state that land ownership, classification, possession, boundaries or development rights are changed. It also does not describe any acquisition, transfer, reservation or change of land use.
A person conducting a property review should therefore treat the Gazette notification as an event notification, not as a document establishing title or changing the legal status of a parcel of land.
