Who should check the schedule
A buyer, owner, legal heir or professional dealing with land in any of the six listed villages should compare the property's village and survey number with the replacement schedule. A matching survey number means the parcel is included in the notified particulars of surplus lands, so the Gazette entry is directly relevant to the transaction or ownership review.
