The schedule identifies land in the following survey fields:
- 767/1, 768/1, 769/1 and 769/2
- 771/2 and 771/3

The scheduled land is divided into nine separate bits. The notification provides an extent for each survey field and detailed north, east, south and west boundary descriptions. These descriptions refer to adjoining survey fields, village boundaries and the existing Balajangamanahalli Reserved Forest.
Who may be affected
The Environment and Forests Department declaration is relevant to buyers, owners and professionals dealing with land in or near the listed survey fields in Balajangamanahalli Village. A matching survey field number alone may not establish whether a particular parcel is inside the notified area, because the schedule also defines the land through individual bit extents and boundary descriptions.
People reviewing property records in the area should compare the survey number, subdivision, extent and physical boundaries against the notification schedule. The source declares the scheduled area as Reserved Forest but does not describe transaction procedures, permissions, compensation or land record correction processes.
