O R D E R Ramachandran Nair, J. The revision petition arises from a proceedings under the Indian Telegraph Act and Indian Electricity Act, relating to claim for enhanced compensation for the bearing and non-bearing trees cut and removed by the petitioner for the purpose of drawing 220 KV electric line. By the impugned order, the court below has awarded enhanced compensation to the tune of Rs.5,434/- with interest at 8% per annum on Rs.3,813/- from the date of the order till payment. The court below has relied upon the decision of this court in Kumbha v. K.S.E.B. (2000) 1 KLT 542) to assess the compensation payable. The compensation for diminution in land value to the tune of 20% of the market value of the land has also been awarded. To assess the same, Ext.C1 series Commission report and plans relied upon. It is accordingly, the award has been passed by the trial court. As the relevant principles alone have been followed, no infirmity can be attached to the order passed. 2. We find that the additional compensation granted does not call for CRP 460/2003 -2- any interference and the rate of interest fixed being only 8%, the same also does not call for any interference. The revision petition is therefore dismissed confirming the order passed by the court below. ( P.R.Raman, Judge.) (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/ CRP 460/2003 -3- P.R.Raman & T.R.
