This query is : Resolved
My land is - Diverted land, farm land as well as empty (Banjar nothing grows on it). A private company is supplying power to MP- electricity board thru two transmission lines of 320Kv and 220 Kv ,and they have not given any compensation they show us collector order to allow them work. They are not giving us any paper saying the line is to be passed on our land. Request you to guide me how to take legal action and according to what Law of our constitution I can file for my compensation claim as In my town No lawyer has any knowledge about It.

Lodge a complaint to the Police Station, Electricity Authority and local Panchayat/Municipality then file a Writ of Mandamus in High Court.

Dear Mr. Amogh,
The Govt. has power under Electricity & Telegraph act to erect towers on any pvt. land. Now a days, the erection work done by pvt. or govt. erection company, which enter in to contract with Electricity board. In most of cases, the liability to pay compensation to farmer on mainly two aspects 01. damage to crop etc., & 2. and occupied land on which towers erected.
From the experience, mostly the pvt. erection companies pay lump sum amount as compensation.
If you not satisfied with compensation issue, there is provision to file Civil Misc. Application to local Civil Court and the Dist. Judge has power to dispose off the matter and there will be no court fees.
For any information from such authority, you may apply under RTI.
Regards,
