IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH R.F.A. No. 1662 of 1988 Date of decision: 1.10.2008 Krishan Kumar and others .. Appellants v. Haryana State and another .. Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: None for the appellants. Mr. Rajiv Kawatra, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana for the respondents. Rajesh Bindal J. The land owners are in appeal before this Court against the award of the learned Court below for further enhancement of the compensation of the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 26.12.1977, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'), State of Haryana acquired the land in question in Village Gurgaon. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') determined the market value of land at Rs. 10/- per square yard. Aggrieved against the same, the appellant filed objections which were referred to the learned District Judge, Gurgaon, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, awarded compensation @ Rs. 33.50 per square yard for the acquired land. Learned counsel for the State very fairly submitted that the claim made by the appellant in the present case is squarely covered by a judgment of this Court in R.F.A. No. 1043 of 1987 – M/s Laxmi Chand Nirula through LRs. v. State of Haryana, decided on 12.2.2004, where on account of acquisition of land pertaining to the same village, this Court assessed the value of the acquired land @ Rs. 45/- per square yard. For the reasons stated in MS Laxmi Chand Nirula's case (supra), the appeal is allowed in the same terms. (Rajesh Bindal) 1.10.2008 Judge mk
