Effective date and text differences
The land withdrawal operates from the date on which the notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, which is dated 7th August 2025.
The printed text contains inconsistencies that are relevant when identifying the parcel:
- The English operative paragraph refers to Padmanabapuram ‘A’ Revenue Village, while the English and Tamil schedules identify Padmanabapuram ‘B’.
- The English text withdraws the land from the Padmanabapuram Municipal Council, while the Tamil operative paragraph refers to the Thiruverkadu Municipal Council. The schedules name Padmanabapuram Municipal Council.
These differences make verification of the official survey and local body records important before relying on the notification for a property transaction.
