                   ORDER

1. Leave granted.

2. This appeal is directed against the judgment and order dated 10.1.2008 passed by the High
Court of Kerala in C.R.P. No.1015/2005, whereby and whereunder an additional
compensation for a sum of Rs. 1,47,256/- has been granted by way of compensation for the
trees cut for drawing overhead electrical line in terms of provisions of the Indian Telegraph
Act.

3. The issue involved in this appeal is since covered by a decision of this Court in Kerala
State Electricity Board vs. Livisha & Ors.1, followed in Kerala State Electricity Board vs. B.
Sreekumari2.

4. In that view of the matter, we are of the opinion that interest of justice would be subserved
if the impugned judgment is set aside and the matter is remitted to the High Court for
consideration thereof afresh in the light of the aforesaid decisions of this Court. We direct
accordingly.

5. The appeal is disposed of accordingly. No costs.
