No.61 of 2001 on the file of Additional<\/p>\n<p>District Judge, Ernakulam. Revision petitioner is the claimant in<\/p>\n<p>the above petition which has been filed seeking enhanced<\/p>\n<p>compensation for the trees cut and removed and towards<\/p>\n<p>diminution of land value suffered on account of the drawing of<\/p>\n<p>overhead lines through his property by the respondent Kerala<\/p>\n<p>State Electricity Board hereinafter referred to as the Board. The<\/p>\n<p>Board, for the purpose of drawing 11KV feeder line to<\/p>\n<p>Edakkattuvayal from Kakkadu Substation, cut and removed some<\/p>\n<p>trees from the property of the petitioner. Towards the damages<\/p>\n<p>sustained to the petitioner, claimant, the Board assessed and paid<\/p>\n<p>a sum of Rs.6,988\/-. Not being satisfied with the compensation<\/p>\n<p>adjudged and paid by the Board, the above petition was filed by<\/p>\n<p>the claimant under Section 10 and 16 of the Indian Telegraph Act<\/p>\n<p>and Section 51 of the Indian Electricity Act claiming enhanced<\/p>\n<p>compensation. The Board resisted the claim contending that just<\/p>\n<p>and reasonable compensation had been paid.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2. In the enquiry on the claim petition, claimant examined<\/p>\n<p>himself as PW1 and got marked Exts.A1 to A10. On the side of<\/p>\n<p>C.R.P No.1153 OF 2005             Page numbers<\/p>\n<p>the Board, the file relating to the case involved was produced and<\/p>\n<p>exhibited as Ext.R1. An advocate commissioner deputed by the<\/p>\n<p>court after conducting a local inspection filed a report and plan<\/p>\n<p>which is marked as Ext.C1. The Additional District Judge after<\/p>\n<p>hearing the counsel on both sides and examining the materials<\/p>\n<p>produced passed the impugned order awarding enhanced<\/p>\n<p>compensation of Rs.36,838\/- to the claimant allowing its recovery<\/p>\n<p>with 6% interest from the date of cutting of trees till realisation<\/p>\n<p>and also the cost of the proceedings. Challenging the enhanced<\/p>\n<p>compensation assessed by the court as inadequate the claimant<\/p>\n<p>has filed this revision.\n<\/p>\n<p>            3. I heard the counsel on both sides. The grievance<\/p>\n<p>espoused by the claimant was that in addition to the trees cut and<\/p>\n<p>removed branches of some more trees, which are made<\/p>\n<p>mentioned in Ext.A2 Mahazar, had also been cut and thereby he<\/p>\n<p>had suffered damages.        Such damages were not taken into<\/p>\n<p>account by the Board in adjudging the compensation was pressed<\/p>\n<p>before me by the learned counsel contending that the revised<\/p>\n<p>statement filed by the claimant before the court below deserved<\/p>\n<p>implicit acceptance. The claimant in his revised statement had<\/p>\n<p>shown three tables, the first one with reference to the trees cut<\/p>\n<p>and removed as claimed by by the Board, the second table with<\/p>\n<p>reference to Ext.A2 Mahazar prepared and the third one on the<\/p>\n<p>C.R.P No.1153 OF 2005            Page numbers<\/p>\n<p>basis of the complaint purported to have been made by the<\/p>\n<p>claimant to the Board. Perusing the impugned order, it is seen,<\/p>\n<p>the learned Additional District Judge found that the revised<\/p>\n<p>calculation with respect to Ext.R1(a) alone that is first table, is<\/p>\n<p>acceptable as there was dearth of material to substantiate the<\/p>\n<p>case of the claimant to show that branches of some more trees<\/p>\n<p>mentioned in Ext.A2 Mahazar too had been cut and removed.<\/p>\n<p>However, taking note that the Board had assessed annuity return<\/p>\n<p>at 10% only, following the guidelines given in &#8220;Kumba Amma v<\/p>\n<p>Kerala State Electricity Board&#8221; (2000(1) KLT 542), the<\/p>\n<p>learned Additional District Judge redetermined the compensation<\/p>\n<p>with reference to annuity return at 5% and accordingly an<\/p>\n<p>enhanced compensation of Rs.14,488\/- was awarded. The only<\/p>\n<p>challenge canvassed in the revision with respect to the tree<\/p>\n<p>cutting awarded compensation relate to the nonacceptance of the<\/p>\n<p>claim made by the claimant that he was entitled to get<\/p>\n<p>compensation for the trees from which branches are alleged to<\/p>\n<p>have been cut and removed. Other than the self serving evidence<\/p>\n<p>of the claimant, there was nothing more before the court to<\/p>\n<p>accept his case that branches of the trees made mentioned in<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A2 Mahazar had been cut by the Board to facilitate the<\/p>\n<p>drawing of line. In exercise of the revisional jurisdiction, I find it is<\/p>\n<p>not proper and appropriate for this court to reappreciate the<\/p>\n<p>C.R.P No.1153 OF 2005            Page numbers<\/p>\n<p>materials when there is apparently no reason to hold that the<\/p>\n<p>view formed by the District Judge on the materials placed that the<\/p>\n<p>Board had cut and removed only the trees as covered by Ext.R1<\/p>\n<p>(a) is incorrect. The learned counsel for the claimant had raised a<\/p>\n<p>grievance against the area of land determined as injuriously<\/p>\n<p>affected by the drawing of line and also the value fixed over that<\/p>\n<p>land by the court below.     It is submitted by the counsel that<\/p>\n<p>copies of registered sale deeds have been produced to<\/p>\n<p>substantiate his claim that property in that locality is worth more<\/p>\n<p>than Rs.15,000\/- per cent. The advocate commissioner has also<\/p>\n<p>reported that the centage value of the property varied from<\/p>\n<p>Rs.10,000\/- to Rs.15,000\/-.     But the district Judge fixed the<\/p>\n<p>centage value at Rs.7,500\/- per cent is the grievance espoused to<\/p>\n<p>challenge the compensation awarded towards diminution of land<\/p>\n<p>value as inadequate. The District Judge on the materials placed<\/p>\n<p>has fixed the value of the land at Rs.7,500\/- taking note of the<\/p>\n<p>materials produced in the case.       Production and marking of<\/p>\n<p>certified copies of sale deeds, without anything more, is not<\/p>\n<p>sufficient for acceptance of the land value shown in such deeds.<\/p>\n<p>Advocate commissioner in opining the land value has not<\/p>\n<p>furnished any data to support it, nor the nature of enquiry<\/p>\n<p>conducted to give such opinion. In such circumstances          I do<\/p>\n<p>not find any impropriety or illegality in the order of the court<\/p>\n<p>C.R.P No.1153 OF 2005              Page numbers<\/p>\n<p>below in fixing the centage value at Rs.7,500\/-. The claimant had<\/p>\n<p>a grievance a mistake was committed by the advocate<\/p>\n<p>commissioner in assessing the area over which the line passed<\/p>\n<p>through his property.        Other than filing objections to the<\/p>\n<p>commission report, neither the commissioner was examined nor<\/p>\n<p>the objection so canvassed was substantiated before the court.<\/p>\n<p>The court below has accepted the injuriously affected area as<\/p>\n<p>determined by the commissioner to fix the compensation payable<\/p>\n<p>towards diminution of land value. It is also noticed, a higher<\/p>\n<p>percentage, 40% was taken by the court though the line drawn<\/p>\n<p>was only 11KV line. The higher percentage fixed to determine the<\/p>\n<p>injurious affection of the land in fact has benefited the claimant<\/p>\n<p>when compensation was adjudged on that ground.                   On<\/p>\n<p>consideration of the entire facts and circumstances presented<\/p>\n<p>with reference to the impugned order passed by the court below, I<\/p>\n<p>find no interference with the order is called for in exercise of the<\/p>\n<p>revisional jurisdiction. Revision is dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>                                                    Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>                                          S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN<br \/>\n                                                   JUDGE<br \/>\n                   \/\/TRUE COPY\/\/<\/p>\n<p>                                               P.A TO JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>vdv<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court K.P.Kuriakose vs The Kerala State Electricity &#8230; on 1 March, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM CRP.No. 1153 of 2005() 1.
