The Kerala State Electricity Board vs B. Sreekumari

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal by the Kerala State Electricity Board, setting aside the Kerala High Court's dismissal of the Civil Revision Petition regarding enhanced compensation for land value diminution due to electricity line installation. The Court emphasized the need for a fresh consideration of compensation based on relevant factors such as land situs and distance from the high voltage line, referencing the principles established in prior cases including The Kerala State Electricity Board v. Livisha and Land Acquisition Officer v. Kamadana Ramakrishna Rao. The matter was remitted to the High Court for reconsideration without costs.
