In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A No. 3593 of 2002 (O&M) Union Territory, Chandigarh ... Appellant vs Bhupinder Singh and others ... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mrs. Lisa Gill, Additional Standing Counsel for UT Chandigarh. Rajesh Bindal J. Union Territory, Chandigarh 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 are that vide notification dated 10.12.1991, issued under Section 4 of Act, Chandigarh Administration acquired land situated within the revenue estate of Village Manimajra for setting up of Artisan Village. The Land Acquisition Collector determined the market value of land at Rs. 2,00,000/- per acre. Aggrieved against the same, the land owners filed objections which were referred to the learned Additional District Judge, Chandigarh, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, awarded Rs. 4,84,000/- per acre for the acquired land. Learned counsel for the appellant very fairly conceded that compensation payable to the landowners was further enhanced by this court in R. F. A. No. 893 of 2000 R. D. Sharma and another vs The Union Territory of Chandigarh, decided on 20.10.2008. Since the compensation payable to the landowners has been further enhanced by this court, the claim made in the present appeal filed by Union Territory, Chandigarh, for reduction does not survive. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. 26.3.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
