Dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded in respect of the drawing of Mysore-Kozhikode 400 KV electric line, the land owner-climant is in revision.
C.R.P No.374 of 2018
-: 2 :-
towards yield from the trees. As regards the question of diminution in land value, the first question that arises is ascertainment of the market value. As held by this Court in the order dated 07.03.2017 in C.R.P No.144/2013 and connected cases, the determination of land value cannot be solely based upon the fair value as fixed by the revenue authorities. The market value will have to be independently considered and arrived at by the court. As regards the yield from the trees, the respondent was guided by the schedule prepared by the Agricultural Department. This Court in the order in C.R.P. No.144 of 2013 (above referred to) has held that the question of yield from the trees is to be considered based on evidence. In paragraphs 9 and 10 of the said order this Court observed thus:
“9. This Court is of the view that this matter has
to be remitted back to the court below to consider the following aspects;
C.R.P No.374 of 2018
-: 3 :-
i. Yield revealed from each tree in the land
belonged to each of the petitioners.
ii. Determination of the diminishing land value,
after ascertaining the market value and any other component relating to the assessment.
There was inordinate delay of 2133 days in filing the Civil Revision Petition. While condoning the delay, this Court had ordered that the petitioner shall not be entitled for interest, for
C.R.P No.374 of 2018
the amount if any to be enhanced, for the period covered by the delay. While passing fresh orders, the court below shall take notice of the same and
pass orders accordingly.
