More than ten years ago, S. Narayani of Chennai found her 75-cent ancestral land in Tiruporur, Chengalpattu, wrongly recorded as temple property. In 2012, the land appeared in official records under Arulmigu Kandaswamy Temple instead of her name. Together with her son, S. Rajkumar, Narayani approached Revenue, Registration, and Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments officials for answers. They received no clear explanation or documents to prove the land belonged to the temple. Despite having all necessary land records like patta and chitta, the officials refused to correct the mistake. Left with no option, Narayani filed a Right to Information application in 2022 to find out how her land was turned into temple property. The officials did not reply. She then appealed to the Tamil Nadu Information Commission (TNIC) in 2023. State Chief Information Commissioner Md. Shakeel Akhter summoned officials from the three departments and demanded proof for the temple claim. The officials could not produce any documents. After years of hearings, the Registration Department admitted the error happened in 2007 and that the staff responsible had retired. They offered no action against the mistake but allowed Narayani to re-register the land if the Revenue Department had no objections. Finally, the TNIC ordered Narayani to approach the District Registrar with her documents to reclaim her land ownership. This ends a decade-long battle and restores Narayani’s rights over her property.
