JUDEGEMENT

The appellate court upheld the trial court's finding that Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Ltd. was liable for negligence in failing to maintain an electric pole that fell and killed the respondent's buffalo. However, the court reduced the compensation from Rs. 1,50,000 to Rs. 1,00,000 by rejecting the trial court's award for future lost milk income as speculative, while retaining compensation for the buffalo's death value and inconvenience. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
