The essential facts are as under;

• The claimant is in ownership and possession of landed property having an extent of 25.91 Ares in Resurvey No.514/10/3 of Pattimattam Village in Kunnathunadu Taluk. The land was cultivated with various yielding and non-yielding trees.

• According to the claimant, to facilitate drawing of the lines and smooth transmission of power, large number of trees were cut from his property.

• The drawing of high tension lines rendered the land underneath and adjacent to the lines useless, resulting in diminution of the value of the property. In spite of the huge loss suffered by the claimant, only an amount of Rs.2,10,540/- was paid
