True Copy HARUN-UL-RASHID,J. --------------------------- C.R.P.NO.1053 OF 2006 ---------------------------- DATED THIS THE 2ND DAY OF JANUARY,2009 O R D E R Kerala State Electricity Board is the revision petitioner. The challenge is against the order dated 25/7/2006 in O.P.(Ele.) No.23/2005 on the file of the District Court, Kasaragod. 2. For the purpose of drawing electric line, the Electricity Board cut and removed certain improvements from the property owned by the claimant (respondent herein). The Court below granted an additional compensation of Rs.15,342/- together with interest at 6% per annum. The K.S.E. Board challenged the order mainly contending that the fixation of compensation is arbitrary and unreasonable. 3. The court below considered the evidence on record, namely Exts.B1 to B14, C1 and C2 and the oral evidence of PW-1. The court below concluded that the compensation fixed by the Electricity Board is inadequate and the adequate compensation to -2- CRP.No.1053/2006 be awarded is Rs.15,342/- together with interest at 6% per annum. The fixation of compensation was on the basis of the evidence, both oral and documentary. Considering the fact that the additional compensation granted is a small amount, I do not find any reason to interfere with the award passed by the court below. In the result, the revision fails and accordingly the same is dismissed. HARUN-UL-RASHID, Judge. kcv.
