What land is being acquired and where
The acquisition is for an industrial park, the SIPCOT Sriperumbudur Industrial Complex. All the land named in the notices lies in Sriperumbudur taluk of Kancheepuram district.
Taken together, the notices list 1,585 survey numbers spread over 7 villages. The number of survey numbers varies widely from village to village, so the effect on any one village depends on how many of its fields appear in the notices.
A survey number appearing in a notice does not always mean the whole field is affected. Notices often list subdivisions and part extents, so check the exact subdivision and extent against your own patta and FMB sketch.
The notices and their stage
Twelve notifications have been issued, all under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997, and all published in the state gazette. The first is dated 29 November 2011 and the latest is dated 3 November 2022. Each notification covers one village.
Under this Act, the Government first issues a notice under section 3(1). That notice calls on the owner and other interested persons to show cause why the land should not be acquired. After considering any cause shown, the Government passes orders. It may then declare by gazette notification that the land is acquired, and at that point the land vests in the Government free from encumbrances.
The records available here describe these documents as notifications. They do not say which section each was issued under. To know whether a particular field is still at the show cause stage or has already vested in the Government, read the gazette text for your village.
None of the 12 notifications has been withdrawn in full, and none is recorded as corrected later. One withdrawal is recorded against the village of Vallam A. Check whether that withdrawal covers your survey number before assuming your land has been released.
Villages covered and survey number counts
Vallam A: 660 survey numbers, with one withdrawal recorded. Vadagal B: 381 survey numbers. Boothanur: 320 survey numbers. Mambakkam: 137 survey numbers.
Vallam B: 82 survey numbers. Ierungulam: 3 survey numbers. Pondur A: 2 survey numbers.
All seven villages are in Sriperumbudur taluk, Kancheepuram district. No other villages are recorded for this project.
What to do if your land is listed
Get the gazette notification for your village and match the survey number, subdivision and extent against your patta, chitta and FMB sketch. Small differences in subdivision numbers matter.
If you have received a notice under section 3(1), the Act gives you a chance to show cause. Do this in writing to the authority named in the notice, within the time stated, and keep proof of delivery.
Compensation is determined by the authority under the Act after the land is acquired. We do not have figures for this project. Confirm the award, the amount fixed for your field and the payment status with the District Collector, Kancheepuram, or the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition) handling SIPCOT acquisitions.
If you are buying land in these villages, ask the seller for an encumbrance certificate and check the survey number against every notice for the village, including the 2022 notification. Land that has vested in the Government cannot be validly sold by the former owner.
