Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Lokesh Sinhal, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. The State has filed the present appeal against the award of the learned court below passed under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act') seeking reduction in the compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 10.1.1983 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired the land situated in revenue estate of Village Jharsa, Tehsil and District Gurgaon, for the development and utilisation of land as residential, commercial and industrial area at Gurgaon. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the land at Rs. 60,000/- per acre for chahi, and Rs. 40,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land at Rs. 136/- per square yard upto depth of 10 yards on both sides of National Highway No. 8, Rs. 102/- per square yard for the land falling upto 10 yards deep on both sides of Gurgaon-Jharsa Road and Rs. 68/- per square yard for the remaining land. Learned State counsel very fairly conceded that the claim made in the appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 2868 of 1992 Balai Ram and others vs State of Haryana and another, decided on 19.11.2008, whereby award of the Reference Court was upheld. The amount of compensation assessed in the present case is also in the same terms. Accordingly, the claim made in the appeal does not survive. For the reasons recorded in Balai Ram's case (supra), the present appeal is dismissed. 16.4.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
