The Kerala State Electricity Board vs Livisha Etc. Etc

The Supreme Court addressed the determination of compensation for trees cut by the Kerala State Electricity Board under Section 10 of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885. The Court held that compensation should be calculated based on the annuity method, considering factors such as inflation and fair return rates, which have varied in previous judgments. The Court ultimately directed that the compensation be reassessed in light of these principles, emphasizing the need for a consistent approach in determining compensation amounts.
