Who should check the schedule
Property buyers, occupants, owners and professionals dealing with land in South Vellore, Virupakshipuram, Allapuram, Thorapadi or Ariyur should compare the property survey number and subdivision with the Gazette schedule. The withdrawal concerns only the specified extents and boundaries, which may be slightly more or less than the figures stated.
The notification does not list individual beneficiaries. A person should not assume that a property has received a house site patta merely because its village or original survey number appears in the schedule.
