In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 1349 of 1993 (O&M) Teja Singh ..... Appellant vs The State of Punjab ..... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: None for the appellant. Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. The landowner has filed the present appeal seeking further enhancement of compensation for the superstructure existing on the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 15.1.1976 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Punjab acquired land along with superstructure situated within the revenue estate of village Tafazalpura, Tehsil and District Patiala for setting up of an Urban Estate. The Land Acquisition Collector vide supplementary award no. 415 dated 25.2.1983 assessed the compensation for the superstructure @ ` 28,430/-. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the claimant filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below enhanced the compensation for the superstructure to ` 50,000/-. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. No one has appeared for the appellant at the time of hearing. A perusal of the impugned award shows that the appellant has not produced any evidence to establish that the superstructure in question was constructed in the year 1974. On the other hand, the respondent department assessed the compensation on the basis of report prepared by the subject experts. As there is no evidence available on record, prima facie, no case for enhancement is made out. However, as no one has appeared for the appellant, the present appeal is dismissed in default. 25.8.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
