The Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 403, dated 14 November 2025, withdrawing specified government poramboke lands in Cuddalore District from the control of Cuddalore Corporation. The withdrawal, made by the Governor of Tamil Nadu for a one-time house-site patta regularisation scheme, took effect when the notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 18 November 2025.
What the notification does
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department notification removes the land parcels listed in its schedule from the control of Cuddalore Corporation. The Governor of Tamil Nadu exercised the power under sub-section (2) of section 118 of the Tamil Nadu Urban Local Bodies Act, 1998.
The withdrawal applies from 18 November 2025, the date on which the notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. The stated purpose is to support the grant of house-site pattas under a one-time regularisation scheme.
Land covered
The scheduled land is within Cuddalore Taluk and Cuddalore District, in Cuddalore town and certain villages under Cuddalore Corporation. It includes specified portions in:
- Manjakuppam, including Pennaiyatru Salai, Pennaiyatru Road, road land and municipal lane land.
- Thiruppapuliyur, including municipal pathway and waste-area land.
- Devanampattinam, including municipal lane and street land.
- Cuddalore Muthu Nagar, including street and municipal vehicle-stand land.
The schedule identifies each parcel by ward, block, town survey number, subdivision, classification, extent and surrounding survey-number boundaries. The listed land types include government poramboke road, street, municipal lane, municipal pathway, waste area and vehicle stand. Several new subdivisions are shown as government poramboke natham after subdivision.
Key provisions
- Only the particular extents and subdivisions in the schedule are withdrawn from Cuddalore Corporation control.
- The scheduled extents may be slightly more or less, according to the wording of the notification.
- The schedule provides separate withdrawn extents for each affected survey subdivision.
- Withdrawal from corporation control is the operative legal action recorded in the notification.
- The notification does not name individual beneficiaries or state that a patta has already been issued to any particular person.
Who should check the schedule
Owners, occupiers, buyers and professionals dealing with land in the listed wards and localities should compare the property’s town survey number, subdivision, ward and block with the schedule. A matching locality name alone is not enough, because the notification applies only to the specified survey subdivisions and extents.
