RFA No.3697 of 2011 The Reference Court vide the impugned award dated 29,.8,2009 determined the compensation of the acquired land at the rate of Rs.212/- per square yard. The instant appeal has been filed by the claimants/landowners for further enhancement of the compensation of the acquired. Learned counsel for the appellants has very fairly stated before RFA No.3697 of 2011 (O&M) 2 this Court that the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Bhim Singh and others v. State of Haryana and another, (Civil Appeal No.8609-8613 decided on 24.9.2003), wherein the land was acquired vide same notification dated 20.4.1990, as in the instant case, has upheld the market value of the acquired land at the rate of Rs.212/- per square yard and in view of the aforesaid judgment this appeal has no merit. There is a delay of 182 days in filing this appeal. However, keeping in view the fact that the determination of the market value of the acquired land has already been decided by the Apex Court at the rate of Rs.212/-, and the main appeal is being dismissed on merits, the question of condoning the delay does not survive. Appeal dismissed. (Rakesh Kumar Garg) Judge October 14, 2011 rk
