What land is being acquired and where
The records relate to land in Valarpuram village, Sriperumbudur taluk, Kancheepuram district. A total of 117 survey numbers are listed in the notification.
The acquisition is made under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997. This is a state law used by the Government of Tamil Nadu to acquire land needed for industrial purposes, such as industrial parks and estates.
Only one village is covered. Our records do not show any other village under this acquisition.
The notice and its stage
One notification was published in the State Gazette on 29 May 2015. Our records show it has not been withdrawn and has not been corrected by any later notice.
Under the 1997 Act, the principal notice is issued under section 3(1). Once such a notice is published, the Act provides that the land vests in the Government free from encumbrances. This is unlike the 2013 Central Act, which runs through a preliminary notification and a later declaration in separate stages.
Our records do not show whether possession has been taken, whether compensation has been paid for each survey number, or how far any project has progressed. Those details are held by the land acquisition office of the district and should be confirmed there.
The village covered
Valarpuram, Sriperumbudur taluk, Kancheepuram district: 117 survey numbers listed, none withdrawn.
A survey number appearing in the notification may cover the whole of that number or only a part, including specific subdivisions. Always compare the subdivision number and extent in the gazette with your patta and the village records, not just the main survey number.
What to do if your land is listed
Obtain a copy of the 29 May 2015 State Gazette notification and check whether your survey number and subdivision appear, with the extent shown against it.
Compare it with your patta, chitta and the field measurement book extract. If the extent differs, ask the Taluk office or the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition) handling Valarpuram for the acquisition file.
For compensation, apply to the land acquisition authority in Kancheepuram district with your title documents and patta. Ask in writing for the award details and payment status for your survey number. Keep copies of everything you submit.
If you are a buyer, do not purchase any survey number listed in this notification without written confirmation from the revenue authorities of its current status. Land vested in the Government under the Act cannot pass to you through a private sale.
