The Revenue [LR. I (1)] Department issued G.O.(D) No. 513 on 27 October 2014, sanctioning the continuation of 44 posts in the additional Revenue Courts at Lalgudi, Mannargudi, Tirunelveli and Nagapattinam from 11 July 2014 to 10 July 2015. The staffing was continued to help dispose of long pending tenancy cases.
What the government sanctioned
The Revenue [LR. I (1)] Department, through G.O.(D) No. 513 dated 27 October 2014, continued 44 posts across four additional Revenue Courts for one year, from 11 July 2014 to 10 July 2015. The courts were located at Lalgudi, Mannargudi, Tirunelveli and Nagapattinam.
The four additional Revenue Courts had originally been created to dispose of long pending tenancy cases. An earlier continuation covered the period from 11 July 2013 to 10 July 2014. Although the Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Land Reforms requested a further three years, the government sanctioned only one year in G.O.(D) No. 513.

G.O.(D) No. 513 of the Revenue [LR. I (1)] Department allowed each additional Revenue Court to retain 11 posts, making 44 posts across all four courts:
- One Deputy Collector per court, four in total.

Who may be affected
G.O.(D) No. 513 primarily concerns the staffing and administration of the additional Revenue Courts at Lalgudi, Mannargudi, Tirunelveli and Nagapattinam. People with long pending tenancy cases before these courts could be affected indirectly because the purpose of retaining the staff was to support disposal of those cases.
The document does not announce a change to land ownership, tenancy entitlements, land ceiling requirements or property registration. Property buyers and owners without a tenancy case before one of these Revenue Courts are not given any new duty or procedure by the document.
Funding and approval
G.O.(D) No. 513 directs that the expenditure be charged to the specified account for salaries under land ceilings concerning land other than agricultural land. The order records the concurrence of the Finance Department through its communication dated 16 October 2014.
