The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, the Collector') assessed the market value of the acquired land as under:- Villages Jharsa Chahi ` 4,00,000/- per acre Magda ` 3,50,000/- per acre Bhood ` 3,00,000/- per acre Gair Mumkin ` 2,50,000/- per acre R.

On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below vide different awards assessed the compensation of the acquired land.

No. 583 of 1998 – State of Haryana and another vs Dilbagh and others, decided on 3.6.1999, whereby this court determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 212/- per square yard. Accordingly, for the reasons recorded in the Dilbagh's case (supra), the appeals are disposed of in the same terms. 8.3.2011 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
