ORDER
This revision petition is preferred against the award of the Additional
District Judge, Mavelikkara, in OP(Ele) 140/03 whereby the court below
awarded an additional compensation of Rs.10,441/- with 6% interest, i.e.,
Rs. 4,441/- towards value for the trees cut and the balance amount
towards diminution of the land value. There has been no dispute with
regard to the number of trees cut and removed. So the court had taken
into consideration the data furnished in the matter and awarded the
additional compensation.
2. As far as the value of trees is concerned, it does not call for any
interference. As far as the diminution of the land value is concerned, there
is a 220 KV electric line which passes through the property and the court
had found that 3 cents of land is the land affected on account of drawing of
the line. The court had taken into consideration the necessary materials
available and fixed the land value at Rs.5,000/- per cent. Since only 3
cents of land had been materially effected, had fixed 40% as the
diminution of the land value and awarded compensation of Rs 6,000/-
under that head. The court below has correctly applied its mind and
awarded a reasonable compensation which does not call for any
interference.
The civil revision petition lacks merit and it is accordingly dismissed.
