The State has 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 reduction in compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 23.2.1989 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired the land situated in village Patti Insar and Patti Magdum Jagdan, Tehsil Panipat, for public purpose namely for the development and utilisation thereof as residential and commercial area in Sector-17, Panipat. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned Additional District Judge awarded the compensation @ of Rs. 81/- per square yard. Learned counsel for the landowners/respondents submitted that the claim made in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in Review Application No. 31/CI of 2007 in R.F.A. No. 1379 of 1994– Nand Lal and others vs State of Haryana and another, decided on 31.8.2007, whereby the landowners were granted compensation @ of Rs. 139/- per square yard. Learned Assistant Advocate General, Haryana does not dispute the facts stated by the counsel for the landowners/respondents. Since this court had further enhanced the compensation payable to the landowners, the present appeal does not survive. Accordingly, for the detailed reasons stated in Nand Lal's case (supra), the same is dismissed. 23.12.2008 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
