G.O.Ms.No.142, De-reservation at Dr. Duraisamy Nagar, 2014
The Housing and Urban Development [UD1] Department issued Government Order G.O.Ms.No.142, dated 26 September 2014, to amend paragraph 3 of Government Order G.O.Ms.No.382, dated 5 May 1994, concerning de-reservation of a children’s play space at Dr. Duraisamy Nagar, Selaiyur Village, for seven residential plots. The amendment directs petitioner Thiru T.D. Sadasivam to pay the prevailing guideline value for a balance extent of 3,533 square feet in Rajammal Nagar, after accounting for land already gifted to Tambaram Municipality.
What the amendment changes
Government Order G.O.Ms.No.142, issued by the Housing and Urban Development [UD1] Department on 26 September 2014, replaces paragraph 3 of Government Order G.O.Ms.No.382, dated 5 May 1994. The substituted paragraph directs Thiru T.D. Sadasivam to pay the prevailing guideline value for 3,533 square feet in Rajammal Nagar.
The balance is stated as arising from the original requirement concerning 2 grounds and 622 square feet, or 5,422 square feet, after recognising earlier gifts to Tambaram Municipality:
- 1,189 square feet in Rajammal Nagar, under Gift Deed No.9330 dated 20 June 1991.
- 700 square feet in Duraisammy Nagar, under Gift Deed No.5329 dated 8 February 2000.
- The resulting balance specified by the Government is 3,533 square feet.
Background to the land arrangement
Government Order G.O.Ms.No.382 had directed Thiru T.D. Sadasivam to gift the entire Survey No.132/1B in Rajammal Nagar, Selaiyur Village, measuring 2 grounds and 622 square feet, to Tambaram Municipality. A municipal road had been formed on that land.
In exchange, the earlier order provided for de-reservation of a children’s play space measuring 5 grounds and 2,356 square feet in Dr. Duraisamy Nagar. The excess extent was to be handed over on payment based on the 1985 guideline value, with interest capitalised up to settlement at 10 per cent annually.
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority later reported that the petitioner could not gift all the land originally required and proposed payment of equivalent land cost. It recommended using the prevailing guideline value because approval for converting the play space into seven residential plots remained suspended pending compensation.
Who is affected
Government Order G.O.Ms.No.142 directly concerns Thiru T.D. Sadasivam, the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority, Tambaram Municipality and the identified land in Rajammal Nagar and Dr. Duraisamy Nagar, Selaiyur Village.
A buyer or owner dealing with any of the seven residential plots should note that the document records a payment condition connected with the de-reservation and layout approval. It does not state a general rule for converting children’s play spaces elsewhere in Tamil Nadu.
