What land is being acquired and where
The project is a state road improvement. The land identified for it lies in Coimbatore district, in Annur taluk.
The notice covers 25 survey numbers, all in one village. That village is Sarkar Samakulam.
The acquisition is under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001. This is a state law, so the notice appears in the state gazette, not the Gazette of India. It is not an acquisition under the National Highways Act, 1956, and the National Highways procedure under sections 3A and 3D does not apply to it.
The notice and its present stage
One notification has been issued for this project. It is dated 20 March 2023, and the record available to us shows no later notice.
That notification has not been withdrawn, either in full or in part. No correction to it has been published.
Under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, a notice under section 15(1) is the step by which the Government states that it intends to acquire specified land for a highway. Owners and other interested persons may object within the period the Act and the notice allow. After objections are dealt with, the Government may proceed to take the land, and the land then vests in the Government.
Our record does not tell us whether possession has been taken or whether compensation has been paid. For the current position, check with the Collector of Coimbatore or the land acquisition officer named in the notice.
Villages covered by this notice
Only one village appears in this notification, in Annur taluk of Coimbatore district. All 25 survey numbers listed for the project fall in that village. The village is Sarkar Samakulam.
No other village is recorded for this project. If your land is in a neighbouring village, it is not covered by this notification. Even so, confirm against the gazette text before you rely on that.
What to do if your land is listed
Get a copy of the gazette notification dated 20 March 2023. Check whether your survey number and subdivision appear in it, and note the extent shown against them.
Compare those details with your patta, chitta and adangal, and with the FMB sketch. Often only part of a survey number is taken, so look at the extent and not just the number.
If you are buying land in that village, ask the seller for an encumbrance certificate. Search the notification for the survey number, and get a written statement from the seller on whether any part of the land is under acquisition. Land covered by a live notice should not be bought without legal advice.
Compensation under the Act is fixed by the competent authority. To claim it, the owner must prove title and file the documents the authority asks for. For the award, the amount and payment, apply to the Collector of Coimbatore or the land acquisition office for the project.
