The landowners are in appeal before this Court against the award passed by learned court below seeking enhancement of compensation for the tubewell etc. existing on the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that State of Punjab vide notification issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') acquired 302.84 acres of land along with tubewell/ superstructures existing thereon situated within the revenue estate of Village Mataur, Tehsil Kharar, District Ropar (Now District Mohali) for public purpose. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the superstructures existing on the acquired land on 4.12.1986. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowner filed objections. The learned court below vide award dated 9.12.1992 dismissed the reference. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel for the appellants could not point out any material on record which the learned court below had not considered or wrongly considered while deciding the reference. Moreover, compensation of ` 2,790/- with regard to tubewell etc. has been awarded to the landowners. The award for the superstructures was given on 4.12.1986 RFA No. 1140 of 1993 (2) whereas the expert witness of the claimants had visited the spot on 15.2.1987. One of the claimants PW2 Kapur Singh in his cross-examination admitted that he had removed the tubewell and pump. In view of the above, no case for any enhancement is made out.
