What land is being acquired and where
The acquisition is for the Mount Poonamallee Avadi Road Grade Separator between MIOT Hospital and Mugalivakkam. It is an urban project in Chennai district.
All the land notified so far lies in one village, Porur-Ii, in Maduravoyal taluk. The notices cover 38 survey numbers in that village.
The acquisition is being made under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, and the notices appear in the Tamil Nadu state gazette. It is not a National Highways Act acquisition, and no section 3D declaration under that Act applies here.
The notices and their present stage
There are two notices on record. The first is a notification dated 12 May 2023. The second is an errata dated 31 May 2025, which corrects details in the earlier notification.
Under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, a notification of this kind is ordinarily issued under section 15(1). It records the Government's decision to acquire the listed land for a highway purpose and gives owners and interested persons an opportunity to state objections within the period mentioned in the notice.
Neither notice has been withdrawn, and neither has been marked as corrected by any later notice apart from the errata itself. The records given here do not show whether possession has been taken or whether compensation has been paid. Those points must be confirmed with the acquisition office.
Villages covered
Only one village is affected: Porur-Ii, Maduravoyal taluk, Chennai district, with 38 survey numbers notified. No survey numbers in this village have been withdrawn.
Because an errata was issued in 2025, check the survey and subdivision numbers in both notices together. A number listed, changed or dropped in the errata will decide whether your plot is affected.
What to do if your land is listed
Obtain copies of both gazette notices, the notification of 12 May 2023 and the errata of 31 May 2025, and compare the survey and subdivision numbers with your patta, chitta and sale deed.
If you are an owner, keep your title documents, patta, encumbrance certificate and tax receipts ready. Compensation under the Act is fixed by the competent authority after inquiry, and you are entitled to place your claim and documents before that authority. Contact the Revenue or Highways land acquisition office for Maduravoyal taluk to learn the current stage and any award.
If you are a buyer, do not rely only on the seller's word. Ask for a clear statement whether the plot falls within the notified survey numbers, check the gazette yourself, and have your lawyer confirm the position before paying any advance. Land under a live acquisition notice may be taken by the Government, and a buyer generally steps into the seller's position only as regards compensation.
