Rules tweaked in Tamil Nadu for revising asset value
CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu government has amended the rules for estimation and revision of guideline value of properties, or market value guidelines (MVG) as it's officially known. The amendment will potentially enable the government to do a state-level revision of MVG through the Valuation Committee (VC) expeditiously without going through the decision-making process involving district-level committees. These amendments to the Tamil Nadu Stamp (Constitution Of Valuation Committee For Estimation, Publication And Revision Of Market Value Guidelines) Rules of 2010 could have wider implications on revision of MVG and cost of registering properties by buyers. The amendments were notified on June 23 based on a government order (GO) issued on the same day. Incidentally, in 2023, the Madras HC had set aside the state's move to rationalise the guideline value over lack of adherence to 'due process'. Though the GO said the amendments were based on a proposal from the Inspector General (IG) of Registration, it did not elaborate on the details. Officials from Commercial Taxes and Registration Department were not available for comment. TN hasn't seen MVG revision since 2012 As per the original 2010 rules, MVG (Market Value Guideline) revision, expected annually, should begin with the issuance of instructions and policy guidelines by the Valuation Committee (VC) — a state-level body headed by the IG of Registration — to Valuation Sub-Committees (VSCs) in each district. The VSCs are to advertise the commencement of the process in local newspapers, invite feedback, and finalise the MVGs after multiple rounds of deliberation.

Darts player who Michael van Gerwen called 'pub' standard responds to apology
Michael van Gerwen branded Pero Ljubic a 'pub player' after beating him in the first round of the Polish Darts Masters before issuing an apology to the Croatian Michael van Gerwen has issued an apology to the darts rival he branded a 'pub player'. After narrowly winning 6-4 against Pero Ljubic in an underwhelming performance at the Polish Darts Masters, the triple world champion did not mince words when commenting on the Croatian's ability. Van Gerwen, who recently split from wife Daphne, was well short of his best, but Ljubic, 47, couldn't take advantage as he exited the tournament at the first hurdle. The Green Machine derided both his own performance and the state of Ljubic's game. "It wasn't a good game at all. Pero needs to be happy that he won one leg. Pero is not a good player. Pero is a pub player, we all know that," said Van Gerwen, who was defeated in the quarter-finals by Rob Cross. "I'm not harsh. He is a lovely man but when you throw treble 12 for treble 20 then you need to go back to the dartboard [to practice]. I'm the one to blame. But I made Pero look good today. Pero won a few legs and it feels like his birthday!" Van Gerwen, who has gone two years without winning a major tournament and failed to reach the Premier League play-offs, faced a backlash from fans for his brutal remarks. However, he has since issued an apology to Ljubic, who was unruffled by the comments, attributing MVG's reaction to discontent with his own performance. The 'Croatian Knight', as Pero is known, considers any issue with MVG water under the bridge. Per Oche 180, Pero said: "Michael and I have known each other for a long time. We like to have a laugh. There was no bad intention behind his words. "He was just frustrated with his own performance, and I understand that. To be honest, Michael apologised to me straight away. As I said, we know each other well, and I know he meant no harm. In fact, during a later chat, he even gave me some motivation. "He's a genuinely decent guy and a top-class player, so don't judge him too harshly. Emotions can run high in those moments. For me, what matters most is someone's honesty, not what the internet says. "As I mentioned, he regretted his words, and he apologised. That's enough for me. Once again, don't be too quick to judge. Emotions can take over in moments like that." After withdrawing from this weekend's Baltic Sea Darts Open in Germany, Van Gerwen is now preparing for the World Matchplay in Blackpool, which begins on Saturday, July 19. He has been handed a blockbuster first-round clash against fellow Dutch icon Raymond van Barneveld, who only just qualified for the prestigious major via his standing in the ProTour Order of Merit. One big name will be missing after 2023 world champion Michael Smith failed to qualify either via the world rankings or the ProTour order of Merit.

The Green Machine has gone through injury misery, marriage heartache and damaging defeats. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Michael van Gerwen has had a tough year so far Credit: Alamy Once one of the most feared players on the professional circuit, MVG is now seen by many as a beatable opponent when you're on your day. That reputation took it's first big hit of the year when the 36-year-old fell to defeat at the hands of teenager Luke Littler in the World Championship final in January. LUKE AWAY Van Gerwen is a three-time world champion and one of the best players to ever take to the stage. January's World Championship final matchup with a 17-year-old Luke Littler was an opportunity for the Dutchman to assert his dominance over a rising star that had drawn comparisons to a young MVG.

It wasn't just £500,000 and the trophy that was snatched away from Van Gerwen, but an 11-year record of his too. Littler's success as a 17-year-old made him the youngest ever winner of the worlds, trumping MVG's record of lifting the title as a 24-year-old in 2014. 8 Van Gerwen was beaten by Luke Littler in the World Championship final Credit: Getty MINNOW MISERY There's a caveat to losing to Littler, because despite being a teenager, he's still one of the sport's top prospects and best players. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS But there may not be many excuses for some of the relative minnows that MVG has succumb to throughout the season already. Van Gerwen has fallen to defeat in the first round SIX times on the PDC circuit this season. Those performances have included defeats to the world number 111, 94 and 71 in the Players Championship events. Much of the darts world were left scratching their heads at his performances, but pal and opponent Raymond van Barneveld hinted it could be down to fatigue. Speaking to TalkSport, he said: "Michael was always a killer. I don't know what's going on. I see him often, what is really going on with his game? I am not sure. "We travel a lot, we play a lot. From Exeter last week, they play, one day later they go to the UK Open and play more matches. "[It is] almost unstoppable at the moment. It is really tiring for all the players and we have to protect them you know? "Premier League, Euro Tours, Pro Tours, in all honesty it is a little bit insane." 8 Van Gerwen's friend Raymond van Barneveld suggested MVG's poor form could be down to fatigue Credit: Getty - Contributor PREMIER LEAGUE PAIN Van Gerwen is the most successful Premier League Darts player of all time, winning the competition a record seven times - one more than Phil Taylor. But his efforts on the high-profile eight-man tour this season have been well below his usual standards. In fact, Thursday's 6-2 defeat to Nathan Aspinall sealed only his second-ever failed attempt to make the play-off stage of the competition in 13 appearances. While he also went the entire Premier League campaign without winning a single nightly event. Speaking after missing out, he said: "This is probably one of the hardest Premier Leagues I have ever played in - not in terms of players, but in terms of myself". While former tour player Colin Lloyd reckons that the dismal form is a sign that MVG is finished at the top level. He said: "I think his race is run. With what he's achieved in the game, is he that motivated anymore? "He says he is. He says there's plenty left it in him and that when he turns up, he's still the man to beat and one of the best players in the world. "I'm sorry, but I've got to say we haven't seen Michael turn up for a while now. We've seen flashes of brilliance. "Has it slipped into his head he has other priorities?

Van Gerwen has missed out on five different PDC events this season for family commitments, unknown reasons and a freak injury.

Close friend Vincent Van der Voort revealed to Dutch podcast Darts Draait Door how the bizarre injury came about. He said: "Michael hurt himself in the afternoon—it was really unfortunate.
