What may matter to property owners and local residents
For most buyers, owners and professionals, the practical point is not land title or registration. It is local administration and jurisdiction.
Key notifications include:
- Government Order Ms. No. 547, Home (POL.14), dated 30th December 2020, bifurcates Tirunelveli Police District and defines jurisdiction for the newly created Tenkasi Police District by shifting listed local areas, mother villages and hamlets from one police station to another.
- Government Order Ms. No. 32, Home (Police-XIV), dated 20th January 2021, defines the jurisdiction of the newly formed E5 Mattuthavani Police Station in Madurai City and rearranges areas earlier attached to E1 Pudur, E2 Mathichiyam and E3 Anna Nagar Police Stations.
- Government Order Ms. No. 49, Home (Police-XIV), dated 3rd February 2021, changes certain mother villages and hamlets between police stations in the re-organised Kancheepuram Police District and Chengalpattu Police District.

Why the Viswapriya notification matters
The notification says complaints were received that Messers Viswapriya Financial Services and Securities Limited, Chennai, later renamed Messers Viswapriya India Limited, defaulted in returning deposits after maturity. The Government states it is satisfied that the financial establishment is not likely to return the deposits, and therefore attaches the movable properties listed in the schedule, with a total shown balance of Rs. 46,37,033, except Serial No. 8.
