TO JUDGE C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.12465 of 2007 .................................................................... Dated this the 13th day of June, 2007. JUDGMENT Heard counsel for the petitioner and Standing Counsel for KSEB. The line approved by ADM over petitioner's property is only weatherproof cable which is insulated and hence benign. Only 25 metres of weatherproof line passes over petitioner's property. The petitioner's contention that the line bifurcates the property does not sound realistic as a single insulated cable cannot bifurcate an item of property. As and when petitioner wants to construct a building, the petitioner can apply for shifting of the line and in any case respondents will retain sufficient clearance for the line from the building. The W.P. is closed as above. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
