In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 438 of 1993 (O&M) The State of Punjab ... Appellant vs Amar Nath (deceased) represented by LRs ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. The State of Punjab is in appeal appeal before this Court against the award passed by learned court below seeking reduction in the amount of compensation awarded by the learned court below. Briefly, the facts are that State of Punjab vide notification dated 18.9.1985 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') acquired land situated within the revenue estate of village Sottal, Hadbast No. 370, Tehsil Kharar, District Ropar, for construction of SYL Canal. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') assessed the market value of the land @ ` 50,000/- per acre. The landowners filed objections which were referred to the learned Court below for consideration, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, determined the market value @ ` 80,000/- per acre. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned State counsel very fairly conceded that the claim in the present appeal is squarely covered by a judgment of this court in RFA No. 2267 of 1990 titled as Gurdev Singh (deceased) through LRs vs State of Punjab decided on 26.11.2008, whereby the compensation payable to the landowners was further enhanced. Since this court had further enhanced the compensation payable to the landowners for acquisition of land vide same notification in Gurdev Singh (deceased)'s case (supra), the claim made in the present appeal does not survive. Accordingly, the same is dismissed. 29.7.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
