Ban on registering the Unapproved plots in Tamil Nadu

Ban on Unapproved Plot Registration Returns to Tamil Nadu

The prohibition on registering plots lacking approval has been reinstated in Tamil Nadu with renewed force. On Friday, the Madras High Court issued a definitive order to halt all registrations of plots that are still unapproved or those seeking re-registration with pending layout approvals. This legal restriction is slated to remain in effect for the upcoming three weeks, or until further notice is issued.

Details Requested by the Court Regarding Unapproved Plot Registrations

Reinforcing the ban, Justice M. Sundar and Chief Justice Indira Banerjee have requested comprehensive details regarding registration applicants dealing with unapproved plots, particularly those in contravention of the court's ban order issued on September 9, 2016.

Upcoming Special Sitting

Legal authorities have declared that a resolution regarding these concerns will be pursued following a specialized session anticipated to occur either on May 4 or May 5.

Background of the Legal Case

The legal situation took a negative turn following a case held on September 9, 2016, during which Chief Justice Kishan Kaul swiftly sanctioned all registrations for plots lacking approval. This included plots where attempts were made to convert agricultural land into residential plots. The court also held officials personally accountable for any breaches of regulations.
