G.O. (2D) No. 7, Acquisition of Lands, 2010

What the notification does

Government Order (2D) Number 7 of the Highways and Minor Ports Department, dated 16 September 2010, records the Governor of Tamil Nadu's acquisition of land required for the Vandalur to Walajabad road project. The stated purpose is to widen the existing road to four lanes.

The acquisition covers a total extent of 12,059 square metres, more or less, in Vandalur Village, Chengalpattu Taluk, Kancheepuram District. The notification was published in Part II, Section 2 of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 27 October 2010.

Who is affected

Government Order (2D) Number 7 directly affects the owners and other persons interested in the properties listed in its schedule. Property buyers, owners, lenders and professionals dealing with land in Vandalur Village should compare the current survey and subdivision details against the scheduled entries.

The schedule identifies properties using:

• Land classification, including dry, wet and village site land.
• Original survey numbers and, where applicable, new subdivision numbers.
• Patta numbers and names of recorded owners.
• Boundaries on the north, east, south and west.
• The acquired extent in square metres.

The listed properties include portions of survey numbers such as 11, 16, 17, 49, 54, 55, 57, 159A, 298, 299 and 300. Many entries use newly created subdivision numbers, so checking only an older survey number may not be sufficient.

Key provisions

• The land is acquired for a highways purpose, specifically widening the Vandalur to Walajabad road to four lanes.
• The Government states that representations from owners or other interested persons were considered.
• The entire compensation amount is to be paid from the fund controlled or managed by the Chief Engineer (General), Highways Department.
• The acquisition schedule gives parcel level details, including recorded pattadars, boundaries and acquired areas.
• The land plan is kept in the office of the Tahsildar, Chengalpattu, for the Vandalur to Walajabad road widening project.
• The plan may be inspected during office hours.

A person handling a property in the affected area should verify the exact subdivision, boundaries and extent against both the gazette schedule and the plan held by the Tahsildar.
