Questions

Frequently asked

Only on statutory grounds and through the procedure prescribed under the applicable HR&CE legislation — a hereditary right is not lost by administrative order alone.

The HR&CE department has primary administrative jurisdiction, with appeals lying to the Commissioner and, ultimately, to the Madras High Court.
