What land is being acquired and where
The acquisition is for the Fisheries Project at Nagore. The land lies in Nagapattinam district, within Nagapattinam taluk.
The records we hold list 29 survey numbers, all in Nagore Village. No other village appears in the notification.
If you own, hold on lease, or plan to buy land in Nagore Village, check whether your survey number and subdivision are among those listed before you take any further step.
The notice, the law and the stage
The notice was issued under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, and was published in the State Gazette.
There is one notification on record, dated 24 July 2015. It has not been withdrawn, and we have no record of it being corrected later.
Under the 2013 Act, acquisition moves in stages. A preliminary notification in Form IV announces that the land is likely to be needed and opens the window for objections. A declaration in Form VI follows if the Government decides to go ahead. The Collector then holds an inquiry and passes an award fixing compensation.
Our records show only this single notification. They do not tell us whether a declaration or an award has followed. That must be confirmed with the Land Acquisition Officer or the District Collector's office at Nagapattinam.
Villages covered
Only one village is covered: Nagore Village, Nagapattinam taluk, Nagapattinam district, with 29 survey numbers.
No survey number in Nagore Village is shown as withdrawn from the acquisition.
What to do if your land is listed
First, match your survey number and subdivision exactly against the Gazette notification. Use your patta, chitta and adangal, which you can view on the Tamil Nadu online land records portal or obtain from the Nagapattinam taluk office.
Next, find out the present stage. Ask the Land Acquisition Officer or the Collectorate at Nagapattinam whether a Form VI declaration or an award has been issued for your survey number, and ask for certified copies.
Keep your title documents, encumbrance certificate, patta and any tax receipts ready. Compensation under the 2013 Act is paid to the persons interested in the land, so clear and current records matter.
If you are a buyer, do not rely on the seller's word. Land under acquisition notice cannot be freely dealt with once the process is under way, and a purchase may not give you a claim to compensation. Take a written legal opinion before paying any advance.
