G.O. Ms. No. 165, Amendment to Notification, 2019
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Public (Law and Order-F) Department, issued G.O. Ms. No. 165 on 28 February 2019 to amend the notification concerning the Commission of Inquiry into the law and order disturbances following the jallikattu agitation on 23 January 2017. It replaces the period stated in paragraph 4 of the earlier notification, changing it from twenty five months to twenty eight months and two weeks.
What the notification does
G.O. Ms. No. 165, issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu, Public (Law and Order-F) Department, on 28 February 2019, changes one part of an earlier notification concerning a Commission of Inquiry. The inquiry relates to the causes and circumstances that led to law and order disturbances in Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore and other parts of Tamil Nadu on 23 January 2017, following the agitation for holding jallikattu.
The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendment using the powers under sub-section (1) of Section 3 of the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952.
What has changed
The Public (Law and Order-F) Department amendment makes a single textual change in paragraph 4 of the earlier notification:
- The expression “twenty five months” is removed.
- It is replaced with “twenty eight months and two weeks”.
- No other change is stated in the document.
The earlier notification was Notification No. II(2)/PULO/76(f)/2017, published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary on 31 January 2017. The source also records that the earlier notification had subsequently been amended before G.O. Ms. No. 165 was issued.
Who may be affected
G.O. Ms. No. 165 directly concerns the duration wording governing the Commission of Inquiry into the disturbances connected with the jallikattu agitation. It may therefore matter to people involved in, appearing before or following that inquiry, and to officials administering the commission.
The notification does not contain provisions about land ownership, property registration, planning permission, land classification, acquisition, taxation or development. A property buyer or owner does not need to take any land-related action based on the text of this notification.
