NO. 445 OF 2007 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 13th day of March, 2008. O R D E R This revision petition is preferred against the award of the Addl. District Judge, Pathanamthitta whereby he has awarded a compensation of Rs.31,906/- towards the value of trees cut as additional compensation. The only grievance for the revision petitioner is that he has not been given an opportunity. If he is given an opportunity he will be able to establish by showing that the there is diminution in land value and he will be entitled to additional compensation. 2. After hearing both sides I feel an opportunity can be given. Therefore the award under challenge is set aside to the extend of considering the diminution in land value and direct the Court below to permit the parties to produce documentary evidence and take out a Commission in support of that point and then to take a final decision. Needless to say that the other side also should be heard and the parties are directed to appear before the Court below on 23.5.2008. C.R.P. is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
