In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 887 of 1991 (O&M) The State of Punjab ... Appellant vs Jagtar Singh and others ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. The State of Punjab is in appeal before this Court against the award passed by learned court below for reduction in the amount of compensation awarded to the respondents on account of acquisition of land. Briefly, the facts are that super structure in question situated in the revenue estate of Village Binewal, Hadbast No. 243, District Ropar, was acquired vide notification dated 29.4.1982 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'). The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') assessed the market value of the land at ` 14,000/- per acre. The respondent filed objections which were referred to the learned Court below for consideration, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, determined the market value of the land at ` 24,000/- per acre. A perusal of the paper-book shows that the amount involved in the appeal is merely ` 1,706. 16 paise and the acquisition having taken place more than 28 years back, I do not find any reason to interfere therein at this stage. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. 27.7.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
