DISMISSED 12.12.2008 Sd/-(HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE) HARUN-UL-RASHID, J. -------------------------------------------- C.R.P. NO. 1383 OF 2004 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 12th day of December, 2008 O R D E R The revision petitioners challenge the order passed by the Additional District Court, (Ad hoc - II), Ernakulam in O.P.(Ele.) No.58 of 2000. By the impugned order, the court below granted additional compensation of Rs.50,328/- to the respondent herein with interest at the rate of 6% per annum from 1.1.1997 till realisation. The respondent had claimed enhanced compensation for the damages caused on account of drawal of 110 KV DC line through his property. Having regard to the fact that the property in question is a low lying land located at Kalamassery which is a locality having much commercial importance, the court below held that Rs.6,000/- per cent is a reasonable land value. Accordingly, the court below assessed the diminution in land value at 25% and additional amount was arrived at Rs.50,328/-. 2. Fixation of land value at the rate of Rs.6,000/- per cent is just and reasonable taking into consideration the importance of the locality. I find C.R.P. NO. 1383/2004 2 no reason to interfere with the impugned order. The Civil Revision Petition is accordingly dismissed. There will be no order as to costs. (HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE) sp/ C.R.P.
