This order will dispose of four appeals bearing RFA Nos.1886 of 1989, 1443 of 1991, 367 and 485 of 1992 as common questions of facts and law are involved therein.

The landowners are in appeal seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that State Government vide notification dated 20.08.1980, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), sought to acquire the land measuring 319 Bighas 13 Biswas situated in revenue estate of village Gobindpura, District Ambala for utilization as residential and commercial area in the Urban Estate of Jagadhari. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, “the Collector”) vide his award dated 14.09.1986 assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 30,000/- per acre for chahi, ` 20,000/- per acre barani, ` 10,000/- per acre for banjar and ` 5,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of Act, the learned court below assessed the compensation @ ` 96,000/- per acre. RFA No. 1886 of 1989 2 Learned counsel for the landowners very fairly submitted that in view of judgment of this court in RFA No. 2666 of 1989 titled as Daya Ram Vs. State of Haryana decided on 16.10.2008, no case for enhancement of compensation can possibly be made out, as other appeals arising out of the same acquisition have already been dismissed by this court. For the detailed reasons recorded in Daya Ram’s case (supra), the present appeals are dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) JUDGE 10.05.2011 sharmila
