Kerala State Electricity Board vs Sherry

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court of Kerala's judgment granting additional compensation for trees cut under the Indian Telegraph Act, referencing prior decisions in Kerala State Electricity Board vs. Livisha and Kerala State Electricity Board vs. B. Sreekumari. The Court held that the matter should be reconsidered by the High Court in light of these precedents, emphasizing the need for consistent application of the law. The appeal was disposed of with directions for fresh consideration without costs.
