G.O. (Ms.) No. 146, Withdrawal of Katpadi Lands from Vellore City Municipal Corporation Control, 2025
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, issued Government Order (Ms.) No. 146 dated 9 July 2025, under which the Governor withdrew four specified areas of government poramboke land in Katpadi Village from the control of the Vellore City Municipal Corporation. The withdrawals took effect when the notifications were published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 9 July 2025 and cover land classified as Mayanam and Pattai.
What the notifications do
Government Order (Ms.) No. 146 dated 9 July 2025, issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu, Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, contains four notifications withdrawing scheduled land in Katpadi Village, Katpadi Taluk, Vellore District, from the control of the Vellore City Municipal Corporation. The Governor exercised powers under the Tamil Nadu Urban Local Bodies Act, 1998.
The heading connects the withdrawal with granting house-site pattas under a one time regularisation scheme. The operative notifications themselves withdraw municipal control over the listed land. They do not name any person receiving a patta.
Land covered
The four notifications identify the affected land by survey number, classification, extent and surrounding survey numbers:
- Notification No. II(2)/MAWS/637(s-1)/2025 covers an entry involving Survey Numbers 680/3 to 680/47 and 680/1A. It is classified as Government Poramboke Mayanam. The total extent is 1.53.50 hectares, of which 0.30.42 hectares is withdrawn.
- Notification No. II(2)/MAWS/637(s-2)/2025 covers Survey Number 17/1 and subdivisions 17/4 to 17/11. It is classified as Government Poramboke Pattai. The total extent is 1.79.50 hectares, of which 0.06.19 hectares is withdrawn.
- Notification No. II(2)/MAWS/637(s-3)/2025 covers Survey Number 69 and subdivisions 69/2 to 69/5. It is classified as Government Poramboke Pattai. The total extent is 0.78.50 hectares, of which 0.03.20 hectares is withdrawn.
- Notification No. II(2)/MAWS/637(s-4)/2025 covers Survey Number 205 and subdivisions 205/4 to 205/18. It is classified as Government Poramboke Pattai. The total extent is 0.66.50 hectares, of which 0.09.02 hectares is withdrawn.
The schedules state that the listed extents may be a little more or less.
Who should check the schedules
Government Order (Ms.) No. 146 dated 9 July 2025 is relevant to buyers, occupiers and professionals dealing with the listed Katpadi survey numbers. They should compare the property survey number and subdivision with the applicable schedule, because only the specified extents are withdrawn from Vellore City Municipal Corporation control. The notifications do not state that municipal withdrawal by itself transfers ownership to an individual.
