What land is being acquired and where
The land is being acquired for the SIPCOT Sivarakottai Industrial Park, an industrial park in Madurai district. The acquisition falls in Kalligudi and Tirumangalam taluks.
In all, 183 survey numbers are listed across 4 village entries. Sivarakottai appears twice, once under Kalligudi taluk and once under Tirumangalam taluk, so the taluk matters when you check your land.
All the notices were issued under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997 and published in the State Gazette.
The notices and their stage
There are 4 notices in the record. Notifications were issued on 23 February 2011, 30 June 2011 and 1 August 2011. A withdrawal notice was issued on 15 September 2021.
Under the 1997 Act, the Government issues a notice under section 3(1) when it decides that land is needed for an industrial purpose. The notice identifies the land, and owners and persons interested are given an opportunity to put forward their case before the acquisition proceeds. Compensation is then determined by the authorised officer in the manner the Act provides.
The withdrawal notice dated 15 September 2021 relates to 1 village. It withdrew 56 survey numbers in Sivarakottai village of Kalligudi taluk. None of the notices has been withdrawn in full, and none of the notifications is recorded as corrected later.
The facts available here do not show the amount of compensation, the dates of award or payment, or whether possession has been taken. Those points must be confirmed from the official records.

What to do if your land is listed
First, check the Gazette notification itself for your village and taluk. Match your survey number and subdivision exactly. A survey number may be listed only in part, so the extent stated against it matters.
If your land is in Sivarakottai, Kalligudi taluk, also check the withdrawal notice of 15 September 2021 to see whether your survey number was among the 56 withdrawn.
For the stage of acquisition and compensation, approach the office of the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition) handling SIPCOT acquisitions in Madurai, or the Collectorate. Ask whether an award has been passed for your survey number and whether payment has been made or deposited.
If you are buying land in these villages, do not rely on the patta alone. Ask the seller for written confirmation from the revenue authorities that the survey number is not under acquisition, or that it was withdrawn, and have a lawyer verify the Gazette entries before you pay any advance.
