What land was notified and where
The acquisition relates to a power project of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board at Vendipalayam in Erode district.
All the notified land lies in one village, Vendipalayam, in Erode taluk. The notices cover 17 survey numbers in that village.
The acquisition was taken up under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997, and the notices were published in the state gazette.
The notices and their present stage
There are 2 notices on record. The first is a notification dated 8 March 2019 under the 1997 Act. The second is a withdrawal notice dated 11 February 2022.
Under the 1997 Act, the Government acquires land for an industrial purpose by a notice under section 3(1) published in the Gazette, after giving the owner an opportunity to show cause. Once such a notice is published, the land vests in the Government.
The records mark the 2019 notification as withdrawn by the 2022 notice. At the village level, 15 of the 17 survey numbers are shown as withdrawn. The position of the remaining 2 survey numbers should be confirmed from the gazette text and the revenue records before anyone treats the whole acquisition as dropped.
No further notices for this project appear in the records provided here.

What to do if your land is listed
Obtain copies of both gazette notices, the 2019 notification and the 2022 withdrawal, and check whether your survey number and subdivision appear in each schedule.
If your survey number is among those withdrawn, ask the Erode taluk office to confirm that the revenue records, including the patta and the A register, show no acquisition entry against it.
If your survey number is not in the withdrawal schedule, treat it as still affected until the District Collector's office or the land acquisition officer confirms otherwise in writing.
A buyer should do the same checks before paying any advance, and should ask the seller for an official confirmation of the survey number's status.
