What land is being acquired and where
The acquisition covers land in Minjur village, Ponneri taluk, Tiruvallur district. It is the only village in this acquisition.
A total of 29 survey numbers in Minjur are listed. The public record does not state the purpose of the acquisition, the extent in acres or hectares, or the names of the landowners, so this page does not state them either.
To know whether a particular plot is affected, the survey number and subdivision must be checked against the notification itself. A survey number appearing in the list may cover the whole number or only a part of it.
The notice and its stage
There is one notification on record, dated 26 March 2013. It was issued under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 and published in the state gazette.
Under the 1894 Act, acquisition moves in stages. A preliminary notification signals that the Government intends to acquire the land, and owners may file objections. A declaration follows if the Government decides to proceed. The Collector then holds an inquiry and passes an award fixing compensation, after which possession is taken.
The record available here shows only one notification. It does not show a later declaration, an award or the taking of possession. That does not mean those steps did not happen. It means they must be confirmed from the Collectorate or the Land Acquisition Officer.
The notification has not been withdrawn, and no corrigendum or later correction is recorded.
Villages covered
Only one village is covered: Minjur, in Ponneri taluk, Tiruvallur district, with 29 survey numbers listed.
No other village forms part of this acquisition, and none of the Minjur survey numbers is recorded as withdrawn.
What to do if your land is listed
First, obtain a copy of the gazette notification dated 26 March 2013 and match your survey number and subdivision exactly. Compare it with your patta, chitta and adangal.
Second, visit the office of the Special Tahsildar or Land Acquisition Officer dealing with Ponneri taluk, or the Tiruvallur Collectorate, and ask in writing whether a declaration, an award or possession has followed this notification.
Third, if an award has been passed, ask for a certified copy. It will show the extent acquired and the compensation fixed for your plot. If you disagree with the amount, take legal advice promptly, since the law allows a reference to the civil court only within fixed time limits.
If you are a buyer, do not rely only on an encumbrance certificate. Acquisition notifications do not always appear there. Ask the seller for a written statement on the acquisition status and verify it with the Land Acquisition Officer before you pay.
