THIS CIVIL REVISION PETITION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 23/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J. -------------------------- C.R.P. NO. 1260 OF 2004 --------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of January, 2008 ORDER Notice to the respondent is dispensed with. This revision petition is preferred against the award of the Additional District Judge, Alappuzha in OP (EA) 150/02. As per the said award, the court below has awarded an enhanced compensation of Rs.11,783/- i.e. Rs.2783 as additional value for the trees and Rs.9,000/- for the diminution of the land value. 2. I have perused the award. Considering the number of trees cut and removed, age of the trees etc., it is seen that the court has applied its mind properly and had also followed the principles laid down in K.S.E.B. v. Livisha [2007 (3) KLT 1]. The court found that 5 cents of land had been affected injuriously and took the percentage of diminution as 30% and fixed the land value at Rs.6,000/- and awarded Rs.9,000/- as compensation for diminished utility of the land value. The court has considered the matter in the proper perspective and had arrived at a correct decision. Therefore, the award under challenge does not suffer from any infirmity and the civil revision petition is accordingly dismissed. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE vps
