In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 728 of 2005 (O&M) Ram Dhari and others ..... Appellants vs State of Haryana and others ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. G. S. Dhaliwal, Advocate for Mr. M. L. Sharma, Advocate, for the appellants. Mr. D. D. Gupta, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. The landowners have filed the present 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 21.9.2001 which was published on 2.10.2001 under Section 4 of the Act, acquired the land situated in revenue estate of Basti Bhiwal, Tehsil and District Fatehabad, for the construction of District Police Lines, building of Police Station Sadar, and Staff quarters of police officials/men posted at Fatehabad. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of acquired land @ ` 2,50,000/- 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 assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 8,60,000/- per acre for the land falling within two acres of the National Highway No. 10, ` 7,40,000/- per acre for the land falling for the next three acres, and ` 5,00,000/- per acre for rest of the land. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the claim of the appellants in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 63 of 2005- State of Haryana and others vs Hemant Kumar, decided on 29.4.2010, whereby the market value of the acquired land was enhanced to ` 600/- per square yard. Learned State counsel did not dispute this factual position. Accordingly for the reasons recorded in Hemant Kumar's case (supra), the present appeal is disposed of in the same terms. 20.8.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
