RFA No. 223 of 1994 -1- In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh Date of decision : 30.8.2010 1. RFA No. 223 of 1994 (O&M) State of Haryana ..... Appellant vs Smt. Reshan .... Respondent 2. RFA No. 550 of 1994 (O&M) Smt. Reshan ..... Appellant vs State of Haryana .... Respondent 3. RFA No. 1368 of 1994 (O&M) Smt. Reshan ..... Appellant vs State of Haryana .... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: None for the landowners. Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. This order will dispose of the aforesaid appeals as the same arise out of common acquisition. The landowners have filed these appeals seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land whereas the State of Haryana is seeking reduction of compensation. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 23.5.1983 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, “the Act”), the State of Haryana acquired land situated within the revenue estate of village Raily, Tehsil Kalka, District Ambala, for development and utilisation thereof as residential, commercial and industrial area. Notification under Section 6 of the Act was issued on 3.1.1984. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') assessed the market value of the acquired land at ` 20/- per square yard. Aggrieved against the award of the Collector, the land owners filed objections under Section 18 of the Act. On reference, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land at ` 75/- per square yard. It is this award of the learned Reference Court which is impugned by both the parties in the present appeals. RFA No. 223 of 1994 -2- Learned counsel appearing of the State very fairly submitted that the issues involved in the present set of appeals are squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 848 of 1993- State of Haryana vs Rai Singh decided on 10.2.2000, whereby the claim of the landowners and the State was dismissed and the award of the court below was upheld. As the amount of compensation awarded to the landowners in the present appeals is in terms of judgment of this court, prima facie, no case for enhancement is made out, however, as learned counsel for the landowners is not available, the appeals filed by them are dismissed in default whereas the appeal filed by the State is dismissed. 30.8.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
