In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A. No. 2779 of 2008 (O&M) State of Haryana and another ..... Appellants vs Bhoma Ram (deceased) through LRs .... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. D. D. Gupta, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. The State of Haryana is 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 reduction of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 24.3.2003, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'), acquired land falling in the revenue estates of villages Tarkanwali Nathusari Khurd, Nathusari Kalan, Darba Kalan, Manak Diwan, Rupana, Randhawa, Nirvan, Bakrianwali, Gudia Khera, Modia Khera, Liwalwali, Madhosinghana, Mangala, Moujdin and Ottu, Tehsil and District Sirsa for construction of Darba Ghaggar Drain, which was passing through these villages. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the acquired land of different villages at different rates. The land owners/claimants feeling dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded by the Collector, filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below enhanced the compensation of the acquired land. It is this award which is impugned in the present set of appeals. Learned State counsel very fairly conceded that the issue raised in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in RFA No. 3733 of 2007 – Subhash Chand alias Subhash Chander vs State of Haryana and another decided on 14.1.2010, whereby the award of the learned court below regarding determination of fair value of acquired land was upheld. In view of this fact, the claim made in the present appeal does not survive. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in Subhash Chand's case (supra), the present appeal is dismissed. 15.9.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
