Withdrawal from Acquisition of Lands (83 Ex II 2)
The Public Works Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu issued Government Order (Ms.) No. 53, Public Works (D2) Department, dated 23 March 2009, and the Governor of Tamil Nadu withdrew a specified part of land in Padavedu Village, Polur Taluk, Thiruvannamalai District, from acquisition. The land had been proposed for a Public Works Department office and staff quarters under the Shenbagathoppu Reservoir Project, but was no longer required for that purpose.
What the notification does
The Public Works Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu issued Government Order (Ms.) No. 53, Public Works (D2) Department, dated 23 March 2009. It was published as Notification No. II(2)/PWI/144(a)/2009 in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary dated 25 March 2009.
Using the power under sub-section (1) of Section 48 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the Governor of Tamil Nadu withdrew the scheduled land from acquisition. The stated reason is that the land was not required at present for the proposed public purpose.
Land covered by the withdrawal
Notification No. II(2)/PWI/144(a)/2009 applies to land described as:
- Thiruvannamalai District, Polur Taluk, Padavedu Village No. 45.
- Government dry land in R.S. No. 531-B1A, identified as a new subdivision.
- Land recorded as belonging to Raju, son of Poragunji Gounder.
- An area of 0.04.5 hectare, printed in the Gazette as 0.11 cents, out of a total extent of 0.99.5 hectare.
- Bounded on the north by R.S. No. 1073, on the east by R.S. No. 5313-1B, and on the south and west by Reserved Forest.
The withdrawal therefore covers only the scheduled portion, not the entire extent of 0.99.5 hectare.
Earlier acquisition purpose
The Public Works Department acquisition had been initiated for construction of a departmental office and staff quarters under the Shenbagathoppu Reservoir Project. Earlier notifications were published as Public Works Department Notification No. II(2)/PWI/58/2000 in the Gazette dated 12 January 2000 and Notification No. II(2)/PW/150(e-2)/2000 in the Gazette Extraordinary dated 7 February 2000, under sub-section (1) of Section 4 and Section 6 respectively.
Who is affected
Notification No. II(2)/PWI/144(a)/2009 directly affects the person recorded as belonging to the scheduled land and anyone dealing with that specific portion. A buyer, owner or professional should match the village, survey subdivision, extent and boundaries because the notification does not withdraw acquisition for other land.
