J U D G M E N T
This appeal is preferred by the Kerala State Electricity
Board with respect to the damages sustained to one of the
electric posts in a road accident. They had claimed a total
amount of Rs.14,635/- of which Rs.10,000/- has been
awarded by the Tribunal. It is against that decision, the
K.S.E.B. has come in appeal.
2. Heard the counsel appearing for all sides. The
document relied on by the K.S.E.B. is a self-serving
document prepared by one of its officers and even if it is
acceptable the total cost including labour charges and
conveyance allowance will come to Rs.13,331/-. They have
claimed 21% departmental charges which I am not inclined
to allow at all. So deducting Rs.1,500/- from Rs.13,331/-
the claimant will be entitled to an additional amount of
Rs.11,833/- out of which Rs.10,000/- has been awarded. So
the K.S.E.B. is entitled to an additional amount of
Rs.1,833/-.
M.A.C.A. 1091 OF 2008
-:2:-
In the result the MACA is partly allowed and the
claimant is awarded an additional compensation of
Rs.1,833/- with 9% interest on the said sum from the date of
petition till realisation.
