Withdrawal from Acquisition of Lands (2024)
The Government of Tamil Nadu Transport Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 96, Transport [I.1], dated 23 August 2024, withdrawing 98.5 square metres of land in Tondiarpet Village, Tondiarpet Taluk, Chennai District, from acquisition under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997. The notification partially changes the acquisition published in Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 435 dated 30 August 2022, reducing the proposed acquisition area from 537 square metres to 438.5 square metres.
What the notification does
The Government of Tamil Nadu Transport Department notification withdraws two specified land portions from acquisition proceedings. The earlier acquisition notice was published by the Commissioner of Land Administration in Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 435 dated 30 August 2022.
The notification records that Southern Railway, Chennai, also decided to withdraw the acquisition proceeding through a letter dated 4 May 2023. It states that the identified lands were not taken by the Government or on behalf of the Government.
Land covered by the withdrawal
The withdrawal applies to land in Tondiarpet Village, Tondiarpet Taluk, Chennai District:
- Block No. 71, Survey No. 3895/1, with a total survey extent of 0.21.94 hectares. The withdrawn portion is 64 square metres.
- Block No. 71, Survey No. 3896/15, with a total survey extent of 0.04.49 hectares. The withdrawn portion is 34.5 square metres.

- T.P. Ramasamy Pillai, represented by T.R. Kannan, is listed for Survey No. 3895/1.
- V. Vasantha is listed for Survey No. 3896/15.
Effect on the acquisition area
The Government of Tamil Nadu Transport Department notification gives the following area calculation:
- Area proposed for acquisition under the earlier notification: 537 square metres.
- Area now withdrawn: 98.5 square metres.
- Revised area remaining for acquisition: 438.5 square metres.
The withdrawal therefore applies only to the listed 98.5 square metres. It does not cancel the entire acquisition proceeding.
