    Case Summary: WPA/9886/2026 Court Decision: The Calcutta High Court dismissed the writ petition but granted the petitioner liberty to approach the appropriate authority through the proper legal remedy. The court held that WBSETCL's construction of 220 KV transmission towers on the petitioner's agricultural land in Paschim Bardhaman is governed by the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 (Part-III), not the 2023 Telecommunications Act, due to a saving clause in the 2023 Act. Since the petitioner disputes the adequacy of the crop compensation of Rs. 3,45,762/-, the court directed the petitioner to pursue relief under Section 16(3) of the 1885 Act by approaching the District Judge. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
