The respondents opposed the same stating that the electric wire had been laid about twenty years prior to the construction of petitioner\u2019s house but no objection was raised by the petitioner at the time of laying the wire. Moreover, the wire passed by the side of the house over an asbestos shed. Further, about 9000 consumers were being benefited by the electricity in question and there was no feasibility for shifting the line.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court followed law laid down by the Apex Court in the case of <i>Power Grid Corpn. of India Ltd. v. Century Textiles and Industries Ltd.,<\/i>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/zcO3Km69\">(2017) 5 SCC 143<\/a> wherein it was held that Section 10 of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 empowers the telegraph authority to place and maintain a telegraph line under, over, along or across and posts in or upon any immovable property; and in doing so, the government acquires only a right of user in the said property. The authority is obliged to ensure that it causes as little damage as possible and if any damage is caused by exercise of those powers, it is obliged to pay full compensation to the affected party for the damage sustained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Accordingly, the petition was disposed of with the consent of parties with liberty to the petitioner to avail remedies as available to him under the aforesaid judgment.
