The land owners are in appeal against the award of the learned court below seeking further enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 28.3.1985, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'), the State of Haryana acquired 183.28 acres of land in village Gurgaon for development and utilisation as residential and commercial area of Gurgaon. The same was followed by notification dated 15.1.1986 issued under Section 6 of the Act. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') assessed the market value of the acquired land at Rs. 1,05,000/- per acre for chahi land; Rs. 85,000/- per acre for Magda land; Rs. 65,000/- per acre for Banjar land and Rs. 45,000/- per acre for Gair Mumkin kind of land. Aggrieved against the same, the land owners filed objections which were referred to the learned Additional District Judge, Gurgaon, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, determined the fair value of the acquired land @ Rs. 80/- per square yard. Learned counsel for the State submitted that the claim made by the appellants in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in R.F.A. No. 983 of 1993 –Sewa Singh v.
