The exclusion took effect when the notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 18th September 2019.
What the notification does
G.O. Ms. No. 91, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (SGS.4), dated 23rd July 2019, was issued by the Governor of Tamil Nadu through the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department. It excludes a specified portion of land within Saragapalli Panchayat from the operation of the Tamil Nadu Panchayats Act, 1994.
The exclusion applies from the date on which the notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, which was 18th September 2019. The notification states that the extent may be a little more or less than the scheduled figure.
Land covered
The Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department identifies the affected land as follows:
- District: Krishnagiri District.
- Taluk: Denkanikottai Taluk.
- Village: Saragapalli Village.
- Panchayat: Saragapalli Panchayat.
- Survey number: 155/2.
- Total survey extent: 0.69.5 hectares.
- Extent excluded: 0.18.5 hectares.
- Classification: Government Poramboke Pattai.
Only the listed extent of 0.18.5 hectares is stated to be excluded. The schedule does not state that the entire 0.69.5 hectares in Survey No. 155/2 is excluded.
Who may be affected
G.O. Ms. No. 91 may be relevant to buyers, occupiers, adjoining owners, surveyors and professionals dealing with land in Survey No. 155/2 of Saragapalli Village. They should note that the identified portion is classified in the schedule as Government Poramboke Pattai and has been removed from the operation of the Tamil Nadu Panchayats Act, 1994.
The notification addresses only the operation of that Act over the scheduled land. It does not describe a sale, conveyance or grant of private ownership. Anyone checking a property in this survey number should therefore compare the property boundaries and extent with the scheduled 0.18.5 hectares rather than relying on the survey number alone.
Legal basis and effect
The Governor of Tamil Nadu exercised the power conferred by sub-section (2) of Section 125 of the Tamil Nadu Panchayats Act, 1994. The stated legal effect is the exclusion of the scheduled land from the operation of that Act from the Gazette publication date.
