KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD vs B. SREEKUMARI

The Supreme Court held that the Kerala High Court's dismissal of the Civil Revision Petition by the Kerala State Electricity Board was unsustainable as it relied on a Full Bench decision that had been set aside by the Supreme Court in The Kerala State Electricity Board v. Livisha [2007 (6) SCC 792]. The Court emphasized that factors such as the situs of the land and the impact of high voltage electricity lines on land value must be considered when determining compensation. The Court remitted the matter back to the High Court for fresh consideration, thereby allowing the appeal without costs.
