Why the proceedings were withdrawn
The Tamil Nadu Housing Board received 5,386 public petitions up to 15 August 2023 through petition boxes placed under the Mudhalvarin Munnaeduppu Thittam. The petitions concerned no objection certificates, reconveyance, land acquisition and other Tamil Nadu Housing Board matters.
A Special Committee chaired by the Commissioner for Land Administration reviewed joint inspection reports, district proposals, connected records and court orders. The committee recommended dropping proceedings where legal finality had been reached and the land was not required for further Tamil Nadu Housing Board projects.
The records reviewed included:
- Cases where an initial land acquisition notification had been issued but further action was recommended to be dropped.
- Cases where a draft declaration had been issued but no further action was taken.
- Cases where courts had quashed proceedings and no further appeal was preferred.
- Cases where no award had been passed within the time limit described in the document, causing the proceedings to lapse.
Who should check the annexure
G.O.(Ms.) No.180 dated 4 October 2024 is relevant to owners, buyers and professionals dealing with land in the six listed villages. A village name alone is not enough to confirm coverage. The survey field number and extent must match land identified in the annexure.
The Managing Director of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board was directed to take further action in accordance with the government decision.
