IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. RFA No.2302 of 1985 (O&M) Date of Decision: 23.10.2008. Union of India ....Appellant Versus Sadhu Singh ...Respondent CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr.Sanjeev Kaushik, Advocate for the appellant. RAJESH BINDAL, J. The Union of India is in appeal before this Court against the award dated 10.6.1985 passed by learned Additional District Judge (II), Bhatinda, for reduction of the compensation awarded to the land owner. Briefly, the facts are that residential house of Sadhu Singh situated in village Mehna alongwith a large chunk of land was acquired vide notification dated 10.5.1979 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short `the Act). The Special Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') gave award of Rs. 15,270/- for the acquired residential house. Aggrieved against the same, the land owner filed objections which were referred to the learned Additional District Judge(II), Bhatinda, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties directed that additional sum of Rs.3,978/- over and above already paid be paid to the respondent. Learned counsel for the appellant fairly submits that the claim made in the appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in Union of India vs. Bachan Singh, 1989(2) Revenue Law Reporter, 140, against the land owner where the earlier appeals filed by them with regard to the same acquisition were dismissed. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in Bachan Singh's case (supra), the present appeal, is dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 23.10.2008. JUDGE Reema
