S. Nain, Advocate for Mr. Sandeep Goyal, ADvocate, for the appellant. Rajesh Bindal, J. By filing the present appeal, the landowner is seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 9.8.2002, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), State of Haryana sought to acquire land situated within the revenue estate of village Patti Kaisth Seth, Tehsil and District Kaithal, for development and utilisation thereof as residential, commercial and institutional Sector-21 Kaithal. The same was followed by notification under Section 6 of the Act dated 8.8.2003. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, “the Collector”) vide his award dated 5.8.2005 assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 5,00,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined fair market value of the acquired land @ ` 280/- per square yard. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel for the landowner fairly submitted that the claim made by the appellant in the present appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 254 of 2008- Parveen Kumari vs State of Haryana and others decided on 4.4.2011, whereby the award of the learned court below assessing compensation @ ` 280/- per square yard was upheld. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. The accompanying applications are also dismissed. 20.12.2011 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
