Details of Appeal Cases Received from the Government (Cases of Individual Plots) to Obtain Opinion of the Monitoring Committee
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority issued this undated annexure, which does not print an order number, listing individual vacant plot appeals received from the Government for the Monitoring Committee's opinion. It records recommendations to regularise seven cases and reject ten cases, mainly based on when the plot was subdivided, road access, Coastal Regulation Zone restrictions and payment of OSR charges.
What the annexure covers
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority annexure reviews 17 appeal cases involving individual vacant plots. For each case, it gives the applicant and site, the earlier Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority decision, the grounds of appeal, available evidence, remarks and the Monitoring Committee's recommendation.
The annexure is a case table rather than a general approval for every plot in the named layouts or survey numbers. It records the Monitoring Committee's opinion on each listed appeal and does not state the Government's final decision.
Who may be affected
The annexure directly concerns the named plot owners and applicants in Kundrathur, Sholinganallur, Neelangarai, Kottivakkam, Ayapakkam, Okkiam Thoraipakkam and Velachery. It may also help buyers or professionals examining whether one of the listed plots was recommended for regularisation or rejection.
A recommendation for one plot should not be treated as applying automatically to a neighbouring plot. The table relies on plot specific evidence, subdivision dates, road access, coastal restrictions and payment records.
Key recommendations
- Seven appeals are recommended for regularisation, generally because documentary evidence showed that subdivision occurred before 28 February 1999.
- Several pre-cut off cases are to be re-examined under the 1999 regularisation scheme rate, with revised demands where applicable.
- Some revised demands include OSR charges, balance regularisation fees and applicable interest.
- Requests to waive OSR charges were not accepted in the cases involving P.G. Varghese and Rajappa Abraham.
- Ten appeals are recommended for rejection.
- Appeals were rejected where subdivision occurred after 28 February 1999. The table states that the 2000, 2001 and 2002 regularisation schemes were declared ultra vires by a Court order dated 23 August 2006.
- Appeals involving plots within 500 metres of the HTL were recommended for rejection for violating CRZ regulations.
- The B. Suresh appeal was recommended for rejection because the subdivision was not connected to a public road.
- The K.R. Rajini case was recommended for regularisation after the abutting road became public, subject to re-examination under the 1999 scheme.

Common questions
Does every plot listed in the annexure receive regularisation?
No. The Monitoring Committee recommended regularisation in seven cases and rejection in ten cases.
Why were plots subdivided after 28 February 1999 rejected?
The annexure treats subdivision after 28 February 1999 as a ground for rejection and states that the relevant later regularisation schemes were declared ultra vires by a Court order dated 23 August 2006.
Can a plot within 500 metres of the HTL be regularised under these recommendations?
The listed plots within 500 metres of the HTL were recommended for rejection because they violated CRZ regulations.
Were applicants allowed to avoid OSR charges?
No waiver was accepted in the cases where it was requested. Several regularisation recommendations required revised demands that included OSR charges and, where applicable, interest.
