ORDER M. Sasidharan Nambiar, J. 1. This petition is filed challenging the compensation awarded by Additional District Court, Mavelikkara in OP (Ele.) No. 122 of 2002 for drawing Kayamkulam - Edamon 220 KV Electric line. Trees from the property of the petitioners were cut and a total compensation of Rs.26,091/- was awarded. Contending that the compensation award was unfair and meagre petitioners filed OP (Ele.) 122 of 2002 under S.16 of Indian Telegraph Act read with S.51 of Indian Electricity Act. Respondents contended that reasonable compensation has been awarded and petitioners are not entitled to any enhanced compensation. Learned District Judge, on the evidence of PW 1 and Ext. A1 to A6, granted an enhanced compensation of Rs.15,244/- with interest from the date of the petition. Petitioners are contending that the compensation awarded by the District Judge is disproportionate and very low. 2. Learned counsel appearing for petitioners and learned counsel appearing for respondents were heard. 3. Learned counsel appearing for petitioners argued that the learned District Judge did not grant any compensation for the diminution of land value caused and no compensation was granted for the coconut saplings which would have started yielding after some years and the value of yield assessed is also low and hence the award is to be set aside. Learned counsel relying on the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in KSEB v. Maranchi Matha, 2008 KHC 6128 : ILR 2008 (1) Ker. 537 : 2008 (1) KLJ 581 : 2008 (1) KLT 1038 argued that petitioner is entitled to get interest on the enhanced compensation not from the date of the petition as found by the learned District Judge but from the date of cutting of the trees. 4. The award passed by the District Judge shows that enhanced compensation was granted based on the Full Bench decision of this Court in Kumbamma v. KSEB, 2000 KHC 92 : ILR 2000 (2) Ker. 1 : AIR 2000 Ker. 215 : 2000 (1) KLT 542 . That decision has been subsequently modified by the Apex Court in KSEB v. Livisha, 2007 (3) KHC 53 : 2007 (6) SCC 792 : 2007 (3) KLT 1. In the light of the decision of the Apex Court, award passed by the learned District Judge warrants modification. In such circumstances the revision is allowed. The award passed by Additional District Judge is set aside. In the light of the decision of the Apex Court, award passed by the learned District Judge warrants modification. In such circumstances the revision is allowed.
