Purpose and legal effect
G.O. Ms. No. 129, Energy (C1), dated 14 November 2012, was issued by the Tamil Nadu Energy Department for acquiring land needed to establish a 765/400 KV substation at Pappakudi South.
The notification records that the President of India had entrusted relevant Central Government functions under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, to the Government of Tamil Nadu. It then takes the following steps:
- Gives notice under Section 4(1) that the scheduled lands are needed for a public purpose.
- Directs acquisition under Section 17(2) because immediate possession is considered necessary.
- Authorises the Revenue Divisional Officer, Udayarpalayam, Ariyalur District, along with staff and workmen, to exercise the powers under Section 4(2).
- Directs under Section 17(4) that Section 5-A will not apply because of the urgency of the case.
