What the notification does
Government Order (D) Number 247, Highways and Minor Ports (HP1), dated 11 December 2013, is a land acquisition notification issued by the Highways and Minor Ports Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu. It states that the Governor of Tamil Nadu acquires the dry lands listed in its schedule for a highways purpose.
The land is required to form the Edappadi Bypass Road. The planned road branches at kilometre 12/8 of the Sankari to Edappadi Road and joins at kilometre 23/2 of the Kumarapalayam to Edappadi Road, through the roads identified in the notification.
Who may be affected
The notification directly affects owners and other persons having an interest in the scheduled land in Edappadi Village, Edappadi Taluk, Salem District. It may also matter to buyers, lenders and property professionals checking land within the following survey numbers:
- Survey Numbers 5/2, 5/4 and 5/5.
- Survey Numbers 7/1A, 7/1B, 7/2 and 7/3.
- Survey Numbers 8/1, 8/4 and 8/5.
- Survey Numbers 12/1B, 12/2, 12/4C, 12/8 and 12/9.
The schedule gives proposed new subdivision numbers and the portion placed under acquisition. A buyer should therefore compare both the original survey number and the proposed subdivision with the property's records.
Key provisions
- The Governor states that the listed lands are required for the Edappadi Bypass Road.
- The notification records that the causes shown by owners or other interested persons were considered.
- Compensation is to be paid from funds controlled or managed by the Divisional Engineer (Highways), Salem.

What a property buyer should check
