Tamil Nadu Electricity Board Project in Erode land acquisition: villages and survey numbers

The Tamil Nadu Electricity Board Project in Erode involves land acquisition under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997, covering 8 survey numbers in 1 village, Erode (C), in Erode taluk, Erode district. Two notices were published in the State Gazette: an acquisition notification dated 29 January 2018 and a withdrawal notice dated 12 August 2022 for the same village. The records available do not show the original notification as fully withdrawn, so each owner should confirm whether their specific survey number was released.

What land is being acquired and where

The acquisition is for a power project of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board in Erode district.

The notices cover 8 survey numbers in one village, Erode (C), in Erode taluk. No other village appears in the notices.

The acquisition was taken up under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997, and the notices were published in the Tamil Nadu State Gazette.

The notices and their present stage

The first notice, dated 29 January 2018, is a notification under the 1997 Act. Under section 3(1) of that Act, the Government may acquire land needed for an industrial purpose by publishing a notice. On publication of such a notice, the Act provides that the land vests in the Government free from encumbrances.

The second notice, dated 12 August 2022, is a withdrawal notice for Erode (C) village. The records do not mark the 2018 notification as fully withdrawn, and they do not show which of the 8 survey numbers the withdrawal covers.

So the withdrawal may cover all the notified land or only part of it. The text of the 12 August 2022 Gazette notice is the only reliable way to know whether a particular survey number has been released.

Villages covered

Only one village is affected: Erode (C), Erode taluk, Erode district, with 8 survey numbers listed.

The withdrawal notice of 12 August 2022 also relates to Erode (C). No further villages are recorded for this project.

What to do if your land is listed

Obtain copies of both Gazette notices and match your survey number and subdivision exactly against the schedule in each.

If your survey number appears in the 2018 notification and also in the 2022 withdrawal, the acquisition of that land has been given up. Make sure the revenue records, such as the patta and the A register, still stand in your name and do not show the Government or the Board as owner.

If your survey number appears in the 2018 notification but not in the withdrawal, treat the land as acquired until the Collectorate or the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition) confirms otherwise. Ask about the compensation award and any payment due to you.

A buyer should not purchase any of the 8 survey numbers without checking both notices, the current patta and an encumbrance certificate. The 2018 notice may not appear in an encumbrance certificate at all.

Villages and survey numbers

Each village with the survey numbers its notices name. A survey number that a later notice withdrew is marked. Sub-divisions created by the acquisition may not be on the land records yet, so a notice often names the parent survey.

What a notice means for a buyer or an owner

A gazette notice records that the government intends to acquire the land, or, for a national highway, a section 3D declaration that the land now vests in the Central Government. A notice is not proof that the acquisition was completed: schedules are corrected and sometimes withdrawn, and a notice can lapse. Before paying an advance on land in these villages, check the exact survey number and confirm the current position with the Special District Revenue Officer (Land Acquisition) for the district.
