What the gazette covers
Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Number 8, dated 24 February 2016, contains two groups of notices. The Tamil Nadu Waqf Board, Chennai, issued four direct management notifications under the Waqf Act 1995. The Subordinate Court of Attur published notices concerning insolvency petitions.

Insolvency petition notices
The Subordinate Court of Attur issued notifications VI-3(a)/23/2016 to VI-3(a)/32/2016 relating to petitions under the Provincial Insolvency Act. The notices identify the parties and state that petitioners asked the court to adjudge themselves or named respondents as insolvent.
Several proceedings were posted to 5 April 2016 for enquiry, ex parte evidence, or a counter from specified respondents. Notification VI-3(a)/32/2016 identifies Senthilkumar of Mottur Village as petitioner and debtor, but the supplied text ends before the remaining details of that notice.
