The trees belonging to the respondent/claimant was cut and removed for the purpose of drawing 110 KV line through his property. Before the Trial Court, the claimant examined himself as PW1, Exts.A1 to A3 and C1, Commission Report are also marked. The court below based on evidence held that the compensation awarded for the trees cut and removed is adequately compensated. 3. The court below accepted the contention of the claimant that 13½ cents of land is affected by drawing of line and that ¾ th cents is acquired for installation of power. The court below fixed the land value at the rate of Rs.20,000/- and fixed 25% as diminution in value. Thus, the additional compensation awarded is Rs.42,004.21 with interest. The grant of additional compensation is on the basis of the evidence on record and after considering all the attendant circumstances, I find no reason to take a different view in this matter. C.R.P. No. 1051 OF 2006 -:2:- In the result, the Civil Revision Petition fails and is dismissed. No order as to costs. (HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE) ttb
