HC allows TNHB to take possession of 103 grounds of Pachaiyappa's Trust land

|October 24, 2025
IN a victory to the state government in taking possession of 103 grounds of land in Purasawalkam in Chennai, the Madras High Court has set aside a single judge's order that quashed the 1985 land acquisition proceedings.
A bench of justices S M Subramaniam and C Saravanan passed the orders while allowing the appeal filed by CMD of TNHB. The appeal was filed for setting aside the order passed on September 14, 2022 on the petitions filed by the Administrator General and Official Trustee (AGOT) by the single judge who had held that the entire acquisition proceedings lapsed as the possession was not taken.
The case goes back to the notification issued on October 30, 1985, for acquiring 103 grounds in Purasawalkam belonging to the Pachaiyappa's Trust. TNHB passed the award for acquisition on December 22, 1988, and a compensation of ₹55.51 lakh was deposited.
