G.O. (Ms.) No. 122, Ban on Leasing Government Poramboke Land in Hosur and Denkanikottai Taluks, 2006
The Revenue Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 122 on 21 February 2006, prohibiting the lease of government poramboke land under Revenue Standing Order No. 24A in Hosur and Denkanikottai taluks of Krishnagiri district. The restriction is intended to protect valuable government land in these taluks from being leased to private parties and trusts.
What the government order does
G.O. (Ms.) No. 122, issued by the Revenue Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu on 21 February 2006, prohibits government poramboke land in Hosur and Denkanikottai taluks of Krishnagiri district from being leased under Revenue Standing Order No. 24A.
The operative provision applies specifically to leasing. Although the background records recommendations concerning both assignment and leasing, the final direction in G.O. (Ms.) No. 122 imposes a ban on leasing government poramboke land under the stated Revenue Standing Order.
Why the restriction was imposed
G.O. (Ms.) No. 122 records that Hosur and Denkanikottai are close to Bengaluru and that land values in both taluks are very high. The Krishnagiri District Collector considered it necessary to protect valuable government land from being leased to private parties and trusts.
The Commissioner of Land Administration also advised that leasing valuable land in these taluks to private companies was not appropriate. The Government of Tamil Nadu examined the recommendations of the Krishnagiri District Collector and the Commissioner of Land Administration before accepting the recommendation to prohibit leasing.
The document also records that Hosur and Denkanikottai taluks had been declared hill areas through G.O. (Ms.) No. 49 of the Housing and Urban Development Department, dated 24 March 2003.

G.O. (Ms.) No. 122 may affect:
