SRI.C.K.KARUNAKARAN, SC FOR KSEB THIS CIVIL REVISION PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss P.BHAVADASAN, J. ------------------------------------- CRP No.1041 of 2006-E ------------------------------------- Dated 17th February 2010 Order In this petition, the petitioner calls in question, the order passed by the District Court, Ernakulam in OP No.429/97 dated 18.12.2004, complaining that the enhanced compensation granted is inadequate. 2. The respondent Electricity Board cut and removed some trees standing in the property belonging to the petitioner for which the petitioner was paid Rs.1,44,397/- as compensation. Dissatisfied with the said amount, the petitioner approached the District Court, Ernakulam for enhanced compensation. The District Court, after considering the various aspects and the evidence produced in the case, enhanced the compensation to Rs.1,75,661/- with interest @ 6% per annum from the date of cutting of trees i.e., from 21.11.2002 till the date of payment. The petitioner CRP 1041/06 2 submits, even the enhanced compensation is inadequate. Therefore, he approached this Court, praying for appropriate reliefs. 3. On going through the award passed by the District Court, Ernakulam, I feel that the Court below has taken into consideration, all the aspects and has awarded the enhanced compensation. There is nothing to show that the Court below has omitted to take into account any relevant aspect or has considered any irrelevant factor. So, there is no reason to interfere with the order of the Court below. Therefore, this Petition is devoid of any merit and it is accordingly dismissed.
