Tamil Nadu Puratchi Thalaivi Dr. J Jayalalithaa Memorial Foundation Act, 2020
The Tamil Nadu Puratchi Thalaivi Dr. J Jayalalithaa Memorial Foundation Act, 2020, provides the legal framework for the State Government to acquire 'Veda Nilayam', the former residence of the late Chief Minister Dr. J Jayalalithaa, and convert it into a public memorial. It establishes a Foundation to manage the property, including its maintenance, security, and conversion into a memorial. The Act also creates a specific mechanism for individuals to file claims regarding movable properties (such as books, jewels, and furniture) found within the residence.
