The Tamil Nadu Survey and Boundaries Act, 1923
The Tamil Nadu Survey and Boundaries Act, 1923, regulates the official measurement, determination, and recording of land boundaries across the State of Tamil Nadu. It applies to government lands, private estates, landowners, tenants, registered landholders, and survey officers. The law empowers the government to appoint survey officers to carry out land surveys, settle boundary disputes, erect survey marks, and publish conclusive boundary records. Landowners and tenants are required to maintain and protect these physical survey marks on their properties. This Act is essential for establishing clear legal property lines, preventing boundary disputes, ensuring accurate land revenue records, and protecting land rights.
