IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE M.N.KRISHNAN MONDAY, THE 11TH FEBRUARY 2008 / 22ND MAGHA 1929 CRP.No. 1878 of 2001(E) ----------------------- (AGAINST THE ORDER & DECREE DT.16.3.01 IN OP NO.843/99 ON THE FILE OF THE ADDL. DIST. COURT, THALASSERY) REVN. PETITIONER/RESPONDENT: ------------------------------------- THE KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY, KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY ADV. SRI.T.G.RAJENDRAN SC FOR K.S.E.B. RESPONDENT/PETITIONER: ------------------------------ K. KUNHIMAYAN, S/O.KAMAL, MANGATTIDAM P.O., KUTHUPARAMBA VIA. THIS CIVIL REVISION PETITION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 11/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J. -------------------------- C.R.P. NO. 1878 OF 2001 --------------------- Dated this the 11thday of February, 2008 ORDER This revision petition is preferred against the award of the Addl. District Judge, Thalassery, in OP 843/99 whereby the court has awarded enhanced compensation of Rs.13,666 with 8% interest. 2. I have perused the award. It is true that the court below has relied upon the principles laid down by this court in Kumba Amma v. K.S.E.B. [2000 (1) KLT 542] wherein the court has ordered to take uniform annuity of 5% for calculation of compensation. It is also seen from the order that the court has considered the specific materials available before it, to arrive at that decision. So also, regarding the diminution of land value, though it was contended that the land value is Rs.7,500/- per cent, the court after analysis of the materials available, fixed the land value at Rs. 1,500/- per cent and only granted 20% of diminution of the land value and calculated the compensation. The court has fixed only reasonable rate of interest at 8%. Therefore, I do not find any perversity or illegality in the award passed by the court below. The civil revision petition lacks merit and it is accordingly dismissed. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE vps
