Acquisition of Mondipatti Lands for Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers Limited

What the notifications do

The Government of Tamil Nadu, Industries (MID.2) Department, issued G.O. Ms. Nos. 214, 215, 216 and 217 on 24 December 2013 under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purpose Act, 1997. The notifications acquire four groups of dry lands in Mondipatti Village for an industry producing Multilayer Double Coated Paper Board for Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers Limited.

These are acquisition notices, not proposals to consider acquisition. Each schedule gives the survey number, land description, extent and names of owners or other interested persons.

Land covered

The four Government Orders cover the following parcels:

• G.O. Ms. No. 214 acquires 15.34.5 hectares, or 37.91 acres, in Survey Nos. 1/1, 1/2, 1/3A and 1/3B.
• G.O. Ms. No. 215 acquires 12.79.5 hectares, or 31.62 acres, in Survey Nos. 2/1, 2/2, 7/1 to 7/7, 8/1 and 8/3.
• G.O. Ms. No. 216 acquires 10.12.0 hectares, or 25.01 acres, in Survey Nos. 39/1, 39/2, 40/1, 40/2 and 41.
• G.O. Ms. No. 217 acquires 10.75.5 hectares, or 26.57 acres, in Survey Nos. 44/1 to 44/5, 45/1 to 45/3 and 297.

All scheduled land is described as dry land. The stated measurements may be slightly more or less.

Who is affected

The Government Orders directly affect the owners and persons interested who are named in the schedules. A buyer, owner or professional dealing with land in Mondipatti Village should compare the relevant survey number and subdivision against the schedules, rather than relying only on a person’s name.

Compensation and inspection

The Government Orders state that the entire compensation awarded for the acquired lands will be paid from funds controlled or managed by Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers Limited. They do not give individual compensation amounts.

Plans of the acquired lands are kept at the office of the Special Deputy Collector / Land Acquisition, Manapparai. The plans may be inspected during office hours.
