Tamil Nadu government is likely to notify the draft guidelines under Section 113-C of Town and Country Planning Act of 1971 to regularise illegal buildings built before July 2007 within the next three months.
This comes after Madras High Court gave three month deadline to notify the rules after hearing a petition filed by monitoring committee member M G Devsahayam.
Hitting out at the government for holding consultative meeting on July 8, the Madras High Court Chief Justice S K Kaul had observed that the consultative process is over once rules and guidelines are framed. Kaul’s observations also come as during the July 8 meeting headed by chief secretary there were plans to do away with some provisions of the draft guidelines which the officials believed are too generic.
Initially, the state government was to notify the rules and guidelines of Section 113-C of Town and Country Planning Act, 1971, within four weeks from the order passed by Madras High Court on March 3, 2016. However, due to assembly elections and then the bureaucracy reshuffle in June, the High Court order was not complied with.
Interestingly, Monitoring Committee’s role was defined again by Madras High Court which stated that the committee will be consulted to finalise rules and guidelines. The state government will now have to provide sufficient staff and infrastructure besides providing all files pertaining to illegal construction before the monitoring committee within three months.
Interestingly, the state government has called for a emergency meeting on Wednesday to finalise draft rules and guidelines under Section 113-C of Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act The Chief Planner of Master Plan Unit and assistant director of Directorate of Town and country Planning will finalise the draft rules during the meeting. Interestingly, the draft rules are planned when DTCP does not have to three layers of senior officials and similarly CMDA also does not have a member secretary and a vice-chairman with housing secretary officiating as DTCP director, member secretary, vice chairman as well as the final authority in deciding the drat rule.
