J U D G M E N T

The sufficiency of the compensation payable under Section 10(d) of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 can be questioned before the District Judge only. This is evident from a plain reading of Section 16(3) of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885. Many factual questions require to be adjudicated in the process. The writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is not the proper remedy.

The Writ Petition is dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner as indicated above.

Sd/- V.CHITAMBARESH, Judge.
