Errata to Notification under Land Acquisition Act and Amendment to Notification under Land Acquisition Act
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, issued G.O. Ms. No. 8 and G.O. Ms. No. 9, both dated 23rd January 2009, to correct and amend two earlier land acquisition notifications. The first changes land area figures for R.S. No. 3856-15, while the second replaces the expression “6 (1) of the Act” with “9(1) of the Act” in the preamble of another notification.
What the Gazette publication does
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, published two changes concerning earlier notifications under the Land Acquisition Act. G.O. Ms. No. 8, Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MC1), dated 23rd January 2009, corrects land area figures. G.O. Ms. No. 9, Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MC1), dated 23rd January 2009, changes a statutory expression in the preamble of a separate notification.
The Gazette page does not identify the location, project, owners or acquiring body connected with the affected land. Readers must consult the original notifications for that information.
Correction to land area figures
G.O. Ms. No. 8 corrects Notification No. II(2)/MAWS/397(b)/2008, which was approved in G.O. (Ms) No. 172, Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MC1) Department, dated 9th September 2008. The original notification appeared on pages 2 and 3 of Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary Issue No. 272, dated 9th September 2008.
The corrections are:
- Against R.S. No. 3856-15, “60 Square feet” must be read as “960 square feet”.
- The total stated as “18225 Square feet or 7 Grounds 425 Square feet” must be read as “18225 Square feet or 7 Grounds 1425 Square feet”.
Amendment to the statutory reference
G.O. Ms. No. 9 issues an amendment numbered II(2)/MAWS/32(c)/2009. It amends Notification No. II(2) MAWS/435(a)/2008, approved in G.O. (Ms) No. 184, Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MC-1) Department, dated 24th September 2008. That notification appeared on page 1 of Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary Issue No. 282, dated 24th September 2008.
The amendment provides that, in the preamble, the expression “9(1) of the Act” must replace “6 (1) of the Act”.
Who should check the changes
Property owners, buyers and professionals dealing with land covered by either referenced acquisition notification should use the corrected area and amended preamble. The Gazette page alone does not establish whether a particular property is included, so the relevant original notification and survey details must also be checked.
