What land is being acquired and where
The Palayampatti to Mutharaiyar Nagar Road Upgrade is a state road project. Land for it is being acquired under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001.
The acquisition covers 38 survey numbers. All of them lie in a single village, Palayampatti, in Aruppukkottai taluk, Virudhunagar district.
The notification lists land by survey number. A survey number may be listed in full or only in part, so the extent actually affected must be checked in the notification itself.
The notice and its current stage
One notification has been issued for this project. It is dated 1 December 2022 and was published in the state gazette under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001.
Under this Act, the Government first publishes a notice under section 15(1) stating that it intends to acquire specified land for a highway. Owners and others interested in the land may file objections within the time allowed, and these are considered before the acquisition proceeds further.
The notification dated 1 December 2022 is the first and latest notice in the records available here. It has not been withdrawn, and no later correction has been recorded.
These records do not show whether compensation has been fixed or paid, or whether possession has been taken. The current position should be confirmed with the Land Acquisition Officer or the District Collector's office in Virudhunagar.
Villages covered
Only one village is affected: Palayampatti, in Aruppukkottai taluk, Virudhunagar district. All 38 survey numbers in the notification are in this village.
No survey numbers in Palayampatti have been withdrawn from the notification.
What to do if your land is listed
Get a copy of the gazette notification dated 1 December 2022 and compare your survey number and subdivision with the schedule. Check whether the whole survey number or only a part of it is listed.
Keep your title documents, patta, chitta and adangal ready. Compensation is paid to the persons entitled to it, so your name should appear correctly in the revenue records.
If you wish to object, or want to know whether the time for objections is still open, ask the Land Acquisition Officer in writing and keep your acknowledgement.
Buyers should check this notification before buying any land in Palayampatti. If a listed survey number is involved, ask the seller to explain the acquisition position in writing, and confirm it with the authorities before paying.
