    The court dismissed the petitioner's compensation claim under Section 16(3) of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, finding the petition time-barred. The power transmission line was drawn on the petitioner's land in 1993, but the petition was filed in 2024—31 years later, exceeding the 3-year limitation period under Article 137 of the Limitation Act, 1963. Additionally, the court found the petitioner failed to produce sufficient documentary evidence supporting his claimed damages of Rs. 16 lakh for crop loss, land value diminution, and tower erection.
