What the notifications do

Who may be affected
The Government of Tamil Nadu land acquisition declarations affect owners, pattadars and other named parties connected with the survey numbers listed in the schedules. The Kadambai schedule contains 41 entries and gives the survey number, land classification, named owners or pattadars, boundaries and acquisition extent for each parcel.
The Sirukothan schedule similarly identifies wet and dry land by survey number, named parties, boundaries and extent. Some entries also name the Tiruvannamalai Co-operative Primary Land Development Bank, Indian Overseas Bank and other persons associated with particular parcels.
Property buyers and professionals dealing with land in Kadambai or Sirukothan should compare the survey number and subdivision in their records with the scheduled parcels. Nearby land is not automatically included merely because it shares a village name or boundary.
Acquisition and possession
The Government of Tamil Nadu appointed the Revenue Divisional Officer, Tiruvannamalai, to perform the functions of the Collector and to proceed with acquisition of the scheduled land.
The Governor of Tamil Nadu also directed that possession may be taken immediately after publication of the notice mentioned in Section 9(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. This makes the declarations relevant not only to ownership records but also to the timing of possession.
