Section 16(3) Indian Telegraph Act | Acceptance of Partial Compensation Under Protest Does Not Bar Full Claim : HP HC

The Himachal Pradesh High Court ruled that accepting partial compensation under protest does not waive the right to claim full compensation under Section 16(3) of the Indian Telegraph Act. The court upheld an award of Rs. 2,66,906 with 9% interest, emphasizing that factual findings by lower courts are binding unless perverse or jurisdictionally flawed. This sets a precedent for landowners seeking full compensation for damage to trees and crops due to telecom infrastructure.
