The Tamil Nadu Official Seals Act, 1865

General18652 sections

This Act allows the State Government to specify which official seals Collectors, Magistrates, and other public officers must use. This authority overrides any previous laws that might conflict with it. The law matters because it ensures that official documents issued by government authorities are easily identifiable and legally valid, preventing forgery and creating a unified standard for authentication of official state proceedings and records.
