Dated this the 20th day of August, 2007. JUDGMENT The W.P. is filed raising objection against drawal of 110 KV electric line over petitioner's property. This court directed the matter to be considered by ADM under Section 16(1) of the Telegraph Act. Standing Counsel submitted that ADM has approved the line. Since petitioner is not challenging ADM's order, line can be drawn in terms of ADM's order. However, second respondent or the concerned authority is directed to fix compensation within the time granted by ADM after following the procedure and after hearing the petitioner. Compensation awarded should be released to the petitioner within one month from date of passing the award. W.P. is disposed of as above. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
