Ban on registration of 3,085 acres of ‘temple land’ in Karur district lifted

The ban on registering title deeds for 3,085 acres of public patta lands in Karur district, Tamil Nadu, has been lifted after a review by officials. The restriction, imposed under the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) regulations, prevented the public from transferring ownership of lands granted as 'ryotwari pattas' through the Tamil Nadu Minor Inam Act, 1963. This act originally aimed to prevent the sale of temple-owned lands but inadvertently restricted the registration of public lands as well. After petitions from affected individuals, a team led by Collector C. Muthukumaran reviewed and removed the ban on approximately 3,085 acres, benefiting around 3,390 title deed holders. Specific areas included lands owned by several temples, such as the Sri Balasubramaniar Temple and the Vikrutheswarar Temple.
