Unapproved
Plot Registration Ban Extended Till 2017, 30 January in Tamilnadu..!
The Madras High Court's
interim order on 9 September, 2016 banning registration of plots and houses in
unapproved housing layouts as well as conversion of agricultural land for
non-agricultural use in Tamilnadu has been extended till 30 January, 2017
Earlier, when the case
came up for hearing, the State government responded that they had made
necessary arrangements to regulate the registration of unapproved housing
layouts. But advocate, 'Elephant' G Rajendran, in a new petition, alleged that
26.42 lakh acres of agricultural lands have been converted into housing plots
in the past 14 years.
"Only after a plot
gets basic necessities such electricity, it can be approved.
But, as of now, there are over 13.28 lakh unapproved housing layouts in the
Tamilnadu. The State government will incur an expenditure of nearly Rs. 17,000
crore to regulate their registrations. I just want them to reveal the ways in
which they are going to procure such a hefty fund," he added. Mr.
Rajendran, in his petition, also backed the 2008 government order to stop
regulating the registration unapproved plots after 2008.
Over 13.28
lakh Unapproved Housing Layouts in the Tamilnadu.
The State
government will incur an expenditure of nearly Rs. 17,000 crore to regulate
their registrations.
The case came for
hearing today in which the State government sought two weeks' time to file the
response petition. Following this, High Court judge, Justice Mr. S. K. Kaul,
postponed the hearing to 2017, 30 January.
The first bench
comprising Chief Justice Kaul and Justice R Mahadevan passed the 2016, 9
September order based on the public interest litigation petition filed by
advocate 'Elephant' Mr. Rajendran.
They said, "We
direct that no registering authority in the State shall register any sale deed
in respect of any plot in unauthorised layout or any flat building constructed
on such plots."
