In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A No. 1867 of 1990 (O&M) Dilbagh Singh and another ..... Appellants vs The State of Punjab ..... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Pritam Saini, Advocate, for the appellants. Mr. O. P. Dabla, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. The landowners are in appeal before this court against the award of the learned court below passed under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act') seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 21.3.1986 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired the land situated within the revenue estate of Village Dharak Kalan, Tehsil Kharar, District Ropar, for construction of Sutlej Yamuna Link Canal. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the fair value of the land at Rs. 62,000/- per acre for chahi, Rs. 50,000/- per acre for barani and Rs. 35,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below while relying upon award of Village Majat (Ex. P-4), enhanced the compensation at Rs. 90,000/- per acre. Learned counsel for the appellants/landowners submitted that the claim made by the appellants in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in Bara Singh and others vs The Land Acquisition Collector, SYL Canal Project, Patiala and another decided on 23.12.1999, whereby the compensation as awarded by the learned Reference Court was upheld. Learned Assistant Advocate General does not dispute this factual position. For the detailed reasons recorded in Bara Singh's case (supra), the appeal is dismissed. 5.12.2008 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
