First respondent is plaintiff and other respondents,<\/p>\n<p>other defendants in the suit. First respondent instituted the suit<\/p>\n<p>seeking a decree for mandatory injunction directing the<\/p>\n<p>appellant Board to shift the 11 KV line which was drawn above<\/p>\n<p>the plaint schedule property belonging to him, contending that it<\/p>\n<p>was drawn without his consent or permission.                      According to<\/p>\n<p>appellant, the Board has shifted the reallignment from its<\/p>\n<p>original place and drawn above the plaint schedule property<\/p>\n<p>without seeking consent of first respondent and without<\/p>\n<p>complying with the provisions of Electricity Act. In the suit, first<\/p>\n<p>respondent impleaded apart from the Board, the Executive<\/p>\n<p>Engineer, K.S.E.B, Kundara and the District Collector as<\/p>\n<p>defendants.   Appellant resisted the suit contending that 3rd<\/p>\n<p>defendant Executive Engineer of Kundara has nothing to do with<\/p>\n<p>the KSEB Transmission Division, Adoor and the suit is bad for<\/p>\n<p>his mis-joinder. It was not contended that suit was bad for non-<\/p>\n<p>joinder of Executive Officer, Adoor Division.                     It was also<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">SA 411\/1994                      2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>contended that 11 KV line connecting Mavelikkara and Punalur<\/p>\n<p>sub-stations is passing through the plaint schedule property and<\/p>\n<p>the    11 KV line was drawn long back even before first<\/p>\n<p>respondent purchased the property and it was not drawn<\/p>\n<p>recently as alleged by first respondent and the allignment was<\/p>\n<p>not shifted and therefore first respondent is not entitled to the<\/p>\n<p>decree for mandatory injunction sought for.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.   Learned Munsiff, on the evidence of Pws 1 to4, DW1<\/p>\n<p>and Exts.A1 to A10, Exts.B1 to B5 and Exts.C1 and C2 held that<\/p>\n<p>the suit is not bad for mis-joinder of 3rd defendant and case of<\/p>\n<p>appellant that the line was drawn long back and there was no<\/p>\n<p>reallignment is not correct and evidence of Pws 1 to 4 with DW1<\/p>\n<p>establish that the original of 11 KV line was shifted which was<\/p>\n<p>existing after widening of M.C.Road and as a result it is now<\/p>\n<p>drawn above the plaint schedule property and it was so drawn<\/p>\n<p>without getting the consent or permission of first respondent and<\/p>\n<p>therefore first respondent is entitled to the decree for mandatory<\/p>\n<p>injunction sought for.     The suit was decreed.         Appellant<\/p>\n<p>challenged the decree and judgment before District Court,<\/p>\n<p>Pathanamthitta in A.S.33 of 1989. Before the first appellate court<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">SA 411\/1994                       3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>it was contended that as the Executive Engineer of Adoor<\/p>\n<p>Division was not impleaded, suit is bad for his non-joinder. First<\/p>\n<p>appellate court rejected the contention holding that there was no<\/p>\n<p>plea of non-joinder and therefore it cannot be raised before the<\/p>\n<p>appellate court.     Learned District Judge also found that as<\/p>\n<p>appellant Board is the second defendant, suit is even otherwise<\/p>\n<p>not bad for non-joinder. Though it was contended that suit is<\/p>\n<p>barred under Section 56 of the Electricity Act, learned District<\/p>\n<p>Judge did not accept the said plea also.        Appreciating the<\/p>\n<p>evidence, learned District Judge upheld the findings of learned<\/p>\n<p>Munsiff and dismissed the appeal. It is challenged in the second<\/p>\n<p>appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>     3. The second appeal was admitted formulating the<\/p>\n<p>following substantial questions of law:-\n<\/p>\n<p>1)Whether the suit is not bad for non-joinder of necessary<\/p>\n<p>parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>2)Whether the Section 56 of Indian Electricity Act is a bar to the<\/p>\n<p>suit.\n<\/p>\n<p>3)Whether a suit notice issued in 1981 will give rise to a cause<\/p>\n<p>of action to institute a suit in 1985.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">SA 411\/1994                     4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     4.    Learned counsel appearing for the appellant and first<\/p>\n<p>respondent were heard.\n<\/p>\n<p>     5. Learned counsel appearing for appellant argued that as<\/p>\n<p>the Executive Engineer, Adoor Division within whose jurisdiction<\/p>\n<p>the disputed 11 KV line is drawn was not impleaded, the suit is<\/p>\n<p>bad for his non-joinder and the finding of first appellate court is<\/p>\n<p>not correct. Learned counsel further argued that the suit should<\/p>\n<p>have been dismissed as barred under Section 56 of the<\/p>\n<p>Electricity Act as the line was drawn bonafide. Finally, it was<\/p>\n<p>argued that notice was sent in 1981 and therefore cause of<\/p>\n<p>action for the suit could only be of 1981 and the suit instituted<\/p>\n<p>in 1985 is not maintainable. Learned counsel appearing for first<\/p>\n<p>respondent argued that as there was no plea of non-joinder<\/p>\n<p>before the trial court, appellant is precluded from raising that<\/p>\n<p>plea in the second appeal and as the Board is a party to the suit<\/p>\n<p>the suit is not bad for non-joinder and in any case it is not a<\/p>\n<p>substantial question of law. Relying on the decision of Apex<\/p>\n<p>Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/660893\/\">M.P Electricity Board V. Vijaya Timber Company<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(1997(1) SCC 68) learned counsel argued that when the line was<\/p>\n<p>drawn without complying with the provisions of Electricity Act,<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">SA 411\/1994                      5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the suit is maintainable and as there is no exclusion of<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction the suit is not barred under Section 56 of the<\/p>\n<p>Electricity Act. It was further argued that the cause of action<\/p>\n<p>for the suit was the failure of the appellant Board to shift the 11<\/p>\n<p>KV line drawn illegally without obtaining consent of the<\/p>\n<p>appellant in spite of Ext.A2 notice sent on 23.8.1985 and the<\/p>\n<p>cause of action is not that of 1981       as stated in the appeal<\/p>\n<p>memorandum and therefore none of the questions formulated<\/p>\n<p>are substantial questions of law involved in the appeal.<\/p>\n<p>      6.   Though the appeal was admitted and substantial<\/p>\n<p>questions of law were formulated, as provided under sub-section<\/p>\n<p>5 of Section 100, when the appeal is heard on the questions of<\/p>\n<p>law formulated under sub-section 4 of Section 100, respondent is<\/p>\n<p>entitled to argue that the case does not involve the substantial<\/p>\n<p>questions formulated.      Therefore the fact that substantial<\/p>\n<p>questions of law were formulated will not preclude first<\/p>\n<p>respondent from contending that none of those questions are<\/p>\n<p>substantial questions of law involved in the appeal.<\/p>\n<p>      7. As rightly pointed out by learned counsel appearing for<\/p>\n<p>first respondent, in the absence of a plea before the trial court<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">SA 411\/1994                       6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>that suit is bad for non-joinder of necessary parties, appellant is<\/p>\n<p>not entitled to raise it in the second appeal. Even if it was<\/p>\n<p>raised before the trial it cannot be a substantial question of law<\/p>\n<p>involved in the appeal. Even otherwise when the Kerala State<\/p>\n<p>Electricity Board itself is a defendant in the suit, the fact that the<\/p>\n<p>concerned Executive Engineer was not impleaded in the suit will<\/p>\n<p>not make the suit bad for non-joinder.\n<\/p>\n<p>     8. Section 56(1) of the Electricity Act 1910 reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>          &#8221; No suit, prosecution or other proceedings<\/p>\n<p>          shall lie against any public officer, or any<\/p>\n<p>          servant of a local authority, for anything<\/p>\n<p>          done, or in good faith purporting to be done,<\/p>\n<p>          under the Act&#8221;.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>  Sub-section 2 provides that :\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>          &#8220;No court shall take cognizance of an<\/p>\n<p>          offence under the Act, by a public officer<\/p>\n<p>          except with the sanction-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          a) in the case of a person employed in<\/p>\n<p>          connection with the affairs of the Union, of<\/p>\n<p>          the Central Government; and<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">SA 411\/1994                     7<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          b) in any other case, of the (State<\/p>\n<p>          Government).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> Section 56 is a usual section inserted in similar enactments for<\/p>\n<p>the protection of public servants, administrative     or judicial<\/p>\n<p>officers and is based upon the principle of public policy that an<\/p>\n<p>officer entrusted with the responsibility of discharging certain<\/p>\n<p>duties should be able to do so untramelled by the consideration<\/p>\n<p>of his acts being called in question in a Court of law, or his<\/p>\n<p>being liable to be sued for damages, should his action be legally<\/p>\n<p>or technically erroneous.    Section 56 confers immunity to a<\/p>\n<p>public officer from a suit, prosecution or other proceedings not<\/p>\n<p>only in respect of anything done in good faith but also where<\/p>\n<p>they were done purporting to be in good faith. The protection<\/p>\n<p>provided under Section 56 is to the public officer from personal<\/p>\n<p>liability. It has nothing to do with a suit of this nature. The<\/p>\n<p>Apex Court in        M.P Electricity Board&#8217;s case (supra)<\/p>\n<p>considered the plea of bar raised by the Board against a suit<\/p>\n<p>directing the removal of electric line with poles situated in the<\/p>\n<p>land belonging to a private party, on the allegation that it was<\/p>\n<p>drawn against the provisions of the Act. The Apex Court held<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">SA 411\/1994                      8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>that the remedy of the plaintiff was not taken away expressly or<\/p>\n<p>impliedly and therefore the suit is maintainable. That exactly is<\/p>\n<p>the position herein also.\n<\/p>\n<p>      9. The trial court and first appellate court on appreciating<\/p>\n<p>the evidence, entered a factual finding that appellant Board had<\/p>\n<p>shifted 11 KV line from its original position and drawn the line<\/p>\n<p>over the property of respondent without the consent or<\/p>\n<p>permission of first respondent and that too without complying<\/p>\n<p>with the provisions of the Act. That factual finding cannot be<\/p>\n<p>interfered in exercise of the powers of this court under Section<\/p>\n<p>100 of Code of Civil Procedure. Courts below found that when<\/p>\n<p>appellant contended that there was no shifting evidence of DW1<\/p>\n<p>establish that there was a shifting of the allignment after<\/p>\n<p>widening of M.C road and construction of a bridge.        In such<\/p>\n<p>circumstances, there is no merit in the appeal. It is dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>                           M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>lgk\/-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court K.S.E.B vs K.Vidyadharan on 17 July, 2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM SA No. 411 of 1994(G) 1.
