RFA No. 1245 of 1992 (1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH R. F. A No. 1245 of 1992 (O&M) Date of decision : 26.4.2011 Likhi Ram ..... Appellant vs State of Haryana and another ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Lokesh Sinhal, Advocate, for the landowners in RFA No. 1146 of 2008. Mr. Anjum Ahmed, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. This order shall dispose of following appeals bearing RFA No. 1245, 1839, 1840, 1844, 1845, 2323, 2324, 2644, 2704, 2926, 3505 of 1992; RFA No. 640 of 1994; and RFA No. 1146 of 2008 as common questions of law and facts are involved in these appeals and cross-objections. By filing the appeals, the landowners are seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land whereas by filing appeals the State of Haryana is seeking reduction thereof. Briefly, the facts of the case are that vide notification dated 22.8.1988 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act') the State of Haryana, sought to acquire land situated within the revenue estate of village Mewla Maharajpur, Hadbast No. 4, Tehsil Ballabhgarh, District Faridabad, for development and utilisation thereof as residential and commercial area for Sector 46, Part-II at Faridabad. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, 'the Collector') RFA No. 1245 of 1992 (2) assessed the market value of the land @ ` 3,50,000/- per acre for chahi and ` 1,50,000/- per acre for narmot and gair mumkin kinds of land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 101/- per square yard. It is this award which is impugned by both the parties before this court. In RFA No. 1146 of 2008, proceedings arise out of an award passed under Section 28-A of the Act. Learned counsel for the landowners submitted that the issues raised in the present set of appeals are squarely covered by judgment of this court in LPA No. 920 of 1994 - Horam vs The State of Haryana and another , decided on 27.7.2005. Learned counsel for the State did not dispute the aforesaid factual position. For the reasons recorded in Horam's case (supra), the appeals are disposed of in the same terms. 26.4.2011 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
