STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

Article 43-B and Part IX-B were inserted in the Constitution by the Constitution (Ninety-seventh

Amendment) Act, 2011 and came into force on the 15 day of February 2012. The Tamil Nadu Co-operative

Societies Act, 1983 (Tamil Nadu Act 30 of 1983) was amended on the lines of the constitutional provisions

as amended by the Constitution (Ninety-seventh Amendment) Act 2011 vide Tamil Nadu Act 4 of 2013. The

Supreme Court in Union of India Vs. Rajendra N Shah and another [2021 (8) SCALE 332] has upheld the

Gujarat High Court’s decision in W.P.(PIL)No.166 of 2012, dated the 22nd April 2013, declaring the said Part

IX-B as ultra vires of the Constitution of India, in so far as it concerns the Co-operative societies.

2. Several complaints have been received from the public and members of co-operative societies alleging

fi nancial irregularities and frauds in co-operative societies. A review of the functioning of co-operative societies

has revealed large scale misappropriation of funds, issue of loans on fake jewels and issue of bogus loans of

several crores of rupees, etc.

3. The Government, therefore, with a view to protect the interests of the Co-operative Societies, to

streamline their administration, ensure proper governance and to increase the effi cacy of the functioning of

Co-operative Societies have decided to reduce the term of offi ce of the Board of directors of the societies

from fi ve years to three years and to restore some of the provisions that existed in the said Tamil Nadu

Co-operative Societies Act, 1983 prior to the amendments made in consonance with the provisions in Part

IX-B of the Constitution by undertaking legislation.

4. The Bill seeks to give eff ect to the above decision.

TAMIL NADU GOVERNMENT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS.

Sub-section (1) of section 33 of the Tamil Nadu Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act, 1987

(Tamil Nadu Act 27 of 1989) empowers the Government to appoint a Special Offi cer to manage the aff airs

of a market committee pending constitution of a new market committee for a period not exceeding three

years in the aggregate. By virtue of the said provision, the tenure of Special Offi cers who were appointed to

manage the aff airs of the market committees in the State were extended beyond the said three years period,

by amending the proviso to sub-section (1) of section 33 of the said Act, from time to time. Lastly, their tenure

were extended upto ten years and six months by Tamil Nadu Act 31 of 2021. The said period was due to

expire on the 29th November 2021.

2.

Out of the 26 market committees, members were nominated to 24 market committees except

Tiruchirappalli and Cuddalore market committees. Of the said 24 market committees, the Chairman and Vice

Chairman were elected in 23 market committees (except Theni market committee) and they assumed charge

in the said 23 market committees.

3. Therefore, the tenure of Special Offi cers of 23 market committees (except Tiruchirappalli, Cuddalore

and Theni market committees) was extended from 30-11-2020 to the date prior to the assumption of charges of

the respective market committees by the members. Further, the tenure of the Special Offi cers of Tiruchirappalli,

Cuddalore and Theni market committees was extended from 30-11-2020 to 29-11-2021.

4. In the mean time, on the 23rd July 2021, the members nominated to the said 24 market committees

were withdrawn and Special Offi cers have been appointed for a period of one year to 23 market committees,

except Tiruchirappalli, Cuddalore and Theni market committees.

5. Inasmuch as the extended tenure of the Special Offi cers of the market committees of Tiruchirappalli,

Cuddalore and Theni was due to expire on 29-11-2021 and as some more time was required to nominate

members to the said market committees, there was a compelling necessity to extend the tenure of the

Special Offi cers of the said 3 market committees for a further period of one year beyond 29-11-2021 or till

the reconstitution of the said market committees, whichever is earlier. The Government therefore, decided to

amend the said Tamil Nadu Act 27 of 1989 suitably, for the above purpose.

6. To give eff ect to the above decision the Tamil Nadu Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation)

Second Amendment Ordinance, 2021 was promulgated by the Hon’ble Governor on the 27th November 2021

and the same was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary, dated the 27th November

2021.

EXPLAINING THE CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH NECESSITATED THE PROMULGATION OF THE

ORDINANCE, 2021.

Sub-section (1) of section 33 of the Tamil Nadu Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act, 1987

(Tamil Nadu Act 27 of 1989) empowers the Government to appoint a Special Offi cer to manage the aff airs

of a market committee pending constitution of a new market committee for a period not exceeding three

years in the aggregate. By virtue of the said provision, the tenure of Special Offi cers who were appointed to

manage the aff airs of the market committees in the State was extended beyond the said three years period,

by amending the proviso to sub-section (1) of section 33 of the said Act, from time to time. Lastly, their tenure

were extended up to ten years and six months by Tamil Nadu Act 31 of 2021. The said period was due to

expire on the 29th November 2021.

2. Out of the 26 market committees, members were nominated to 24 market committees except

Tiruchirappalli and Cuddalore market committees. Of the said 24 Market committees, the Chairman and Vice

Chairman were elected in 23 market committees (except Theni market committee) and they assumed charge

in the said 23 market committees.

3. Therefore, the tenure of Special Offi cers of 23 market committees (except Tiruchirappalli, Cuddalore

and Theni market committees) was extended from 30-11-2020 to the date prior to the assumption of charges of

the respective market committees by the members. Further, the tenure of the Special Offi cers of Tiruchirappalli,

Cuddalore and Theni market committees was extended from 30-11-2020 to 29.11.2021.

4. In the mean time, on the 23rd July 2021, the members nominated to the said 24 market committees

were withdrawn and Special Offi cers have been appointed for a period of one year to 23 market committees,

except Tiruchirappalli, Cuddalore and Theni market committees.

5. Inasmuch as the extended tenure of the Special Offi cers of the market committees of Tiruchirappalli,

Cuddalore and Theni was due to expire on 29.11.2021 and as some more time was required to nominate

Special Offi cers of the said 3 market committees for a further period of one year beyond 29-11-2021 or till

the reconstitution of the said market committees, whichever is earlier. The Government, therefore, decided to

amend the said Tamil Nadu Act 27 of 1989 suitably, for the above purpose.

6. As the Legislative Assembly was not in session at that time, it became necessary to promulgate

an Ordinance to give eff ect to the above decision. Accordingly, the Tamil Nadu Agricultural Produce

Marketing (Regulation) Second Amendment Ordinance, 2021 (Tamil Nadu Ordinance 6 of 2021) was

promulgated by the Hon’ble Governor on the 27th November 2021 and the same was published in the

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

Recruitment to posts in the State owned Public Sector Undertakings, State Corporations and Statutory

Boards and Authorities under the control of the State Government through Tamil Nadu Public Service

Commission would bring in uniformity in the process of selection of candidates and also enable the youth

in the rural and remote parts of the State to apply for such posts. By vesting such recruitment with the

Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, professionalism in recruitment for the vacancies arising in the

State owned Public Sector Undertakings, State Corporations and Statutory Boards and Authorities could be

maintained and it would also relieve such organizations from the cumbersome works relating to recruitments

allowing more time to concentrate on their core work.

2. The Government have, therefore, decided to entrust the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission with

additional function as respects recruitment to the services of the State owned Public Sector Undertakings,

State Corporations and Statutory Boards and Authorities under the control of the State Government by

undertaking legislation, as contemplated in Article 321 of the Constitution of India.
