BY ADV. SRI.M.P.MADHAVANKUTTY ADV. SRI.J.OM PRAKASH THIS CIVIL REVISION PETITION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 11/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.T. SANKARAN, J. ............................................................................ C.R.P. No. 778 OF 2007 ............................................................................ Dated this the 11th April, 2008 O R D E R For drawing Kayamkulam-Pallom 220 K.V. transmission electric line, trees were cut from the property of respondent. Claiming additional compensation, the respondent filed E.A.O.P.71 of 2003 before the Addl. District Court, Kottayam The court below granted a sum of of Rs. 18,016/- as additional compensation. This amount was arrived on two counts. A sum of Rs. 9,616/- was granted as compensation for trees cut and Rs. 8400/- as compensation for diminution of land value. The amount awarded is very low though some sort of guess work was made by the court below. After hearing the counsel for the petitioner, I am of the view that if the principles laid down in K.S.E.B. vs. Livisha [ (2007 (3) K.L.T. 1 (SC)] are applied, the compensation that could be granted to the respondent would be higher than the compensation that has been granted now. In view of the fact that the amount of compensation awarded is not high, taking into account all the relevant facts, I am of the view that the Civil Revision Petition is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. K.T. SANKARAN, JUDGE. lk
