Errata notice to the notification published under section 11(1) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013

What the notification covers

Notification No. VI(1)/48/2023 concerns the acquisition of patta land for forming the Cauvery-Vaigai-Gundar Link Canal in Kunnathur Village, Viralimalai Taluk, Pudukkottai District. The Government of Tamil Nadu published the errata under the gazette heading Notifications by Heads of Departments, Etc.

The earlier preliminary notification covered 189 survey numbers with a stated total extent of 24.33.84 hectares. It was based on Pudukkottai District Collector Proceedings No. 67/CVG/LA/2021 dated 1 October 2021.

What is changed

Notification No. VI(1)/48/2023 provides corrected entries for 56 survey numbers from the earlier land acquisition schedule. Its comparison table places the details already published beside the details to be edited.

The corrected fields include:

• Survey numbers and newly identified subdivisions.
• Total area and area under acquisition.
• Classification of land, including dry, wet and ryot manavari land.
• Patta numbers and names of pattadhars.
• Structures such as houses, pipelines, borewells, wells, water tanks, compound walls and other improvements.
• Trees and plants, including their types and numbers.

Some entries divide an earlier survey number into separate subdivisions. Other entries revise pattadhar details or add, remove or alter information about structures, trees and other features on the land.

Who may be affected

Notification No. VI(1)/48/2023 directly concerns pattadhars and landholders whose Kunnathur Village survey numbers appear in the correction table. Buyers and property professionals dealing with land in Kunnathur Village should also check whether the relevant survey number or subdivision is listed.

The corrections matter because the schedule identifies the land proposed for acquisition and records its area, ownership details, structures and trees. A person checking an affected parcel should use the corrected entry rather than relying only on the details in the earlier preliminary notification.

Earlier publication

The preliminary notification was published in the Pudukkottai District Gazette dated 14 October 2021. The source also records publication in the Dhinakaran Tamil daily newspaper and The Times of India English daily newspaper dated 17 October 2021.
