What land is being acquired and where
The land is in Indili village, Kallakurichi taluk, Kallakurichi district. The acquisition is recorded as land for industrial use.
The notification lists 94 survey numbers in Indili. The notice schedule sets out each survey number and subdivision, along with the extent being taken. Only the lands named in that schedule are affected.
Many survey numbers are taken only in part. If your survey number appears, compare the subdivision and extent in the schedule with your patta and title documents before you draw any conclusion.
The notice, the law and its stage
One notification was issued, dated 13 November 2017. It was published in the Tamil Nadu state Government Gazette under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997.
Under this Act, the Government acquires land by publishing a notice under section 3(1). Before that notice is issued, the owner and other interested persons are to be given an opportunity to show cause against the acquisition. Once the section 3(1) notice is published, the land generally vests in the Government free from encumbrances.
Compensation under this Act is fixed through the procedure the Act sets out, by agreement or by determination of the authorised officer. No compensation figure is stated in the records available to us.
As per the records available, this notice has not been withdrawn, and no later correction has been recorded. These records do not show whether possession has been taken or compensation has been paid. For the current position, check with the District Collectorate at Kallakurichi or the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition) handling the scheme.
Villages covered
Only one village is covered: Indili, in Kallakurichi taluk, Kallakurichi district, with 94 survey numbers listed.
No other village appears in this notification. Lands in neighbouring villages are not affected by this notice, though other notices for other projects may exist and should be checked on their own terms.
What to do if your land is listed
Get a copy of the Gazette notification and its schedule. Match your survey number, subdivision and extent exactly against your patta, chitta and adangal entries.
If you own the land, contact the land acquisition office to find out whether compensation has been determined and whether an award or payment has been made in your name. Keep your title deeds, patta, legal heirship papers if any, and bank details ready for any claim.
If you are a buyer, treat any land in this schedule with great care. Under this Act, land covered by a published section 3(1) notice is ordinarily vested in the Government. Ask for an Encumbrance Certificate and a written confirmation from the revenue authorities on whether the specific subdivision is affected before you pay any advance.
If you dispute the extent, the survey number or the compensation, consult a property lawyer promptly, since remedies may be limited by time.
