What the notification does
G.O. Ms. No.179 of the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, dated 7 August 2025, uses the power under the Tamil Nadu Urban Local Bodies Act, 1998 to withdraw specified land from the control of the Padmanabapuram Municipal Council. The stated purpose is to issue free house site pattas to 11 persons under the special regularisation scheme.
The withdrawal applies from the date of publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, which is 7 August 2025.
Land covered
G.O. Ms. No.179 identifies the land as follows:
- District: Kanniyakumari.
- Taluk: Kalkulam.
- Municipal council: Padmanabapuram.
- Revenue village: Padmanabapuram 'A'.
- Survey references: C4/88-1 and C4/88-19 to C4/88-29.
- Classification before withdrawal: Government Poramboke pathai.
- Subdivision extent shown for withdrawal: 0.02.30 hectare.
The English schedule prints the total extent as 0.05.30 hectare, while the Tamil schedule prints it as 0.05.35 hectare. The notification also states that the total area may be a little more or less. Because the two printed versions differ, anyone checking the extent should refer carefully to the Gazette schedule and the relevant survey records.
Who may be affected
G.O. Ms. No.179 directly concerns the Padmanabapuram Municipal Council and the 11 persons for whom free house site pattas are intended. It may also matter to buyers, owners and professionals examining land in the listed survey numbers, particularly where municipal control, poramboke classification or patta eligibility is relevant.
The notification does not name the 11 persons. It also does not provide individual plot allocations or separate patta details.
Practical effect
G.O. Ms. No.179 removes the scheduled land from the control of the Padmanabapuram Municipal Council. Its heading links that withdrawal to the issue of free house site pattas under the special regularisation scheme. The notification records the withdrawal of control, but it does not reproduce any individual patta or identify which portion is assigned to each beneficiary.
