IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. R.F.A. No. 782 of 1994 (O&M) Haryana State and another .... Appellants vs Nirmala Rani .... Respondent Coram : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Mr. G. S. Dhaliwal, Advocate for Mr. M. L. Sharma, Advocate, for the landowners. RAJESH BINDAL, J This order shall dispose of appeals bearing RFA Nos. 782 of 1994, 2252 and 2253 of 1997, 4619 of 1998, 1911 of 1999, 698 of 2000, 3982 of 2001, and 4152 of 2002, arising out of common acquisition. The landowners have filed appeals seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land whereas the State has filed appeal seeking reduction thereof. Briefly the facts are that vide notification dated 22.2.1984 under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act') the State of Haryana acquired land in the revenue estates of Karnal, for development and utilization thereof as residential and commercial area for Sector-16, Karnal. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the compensation for the acquired land @ ` 2,14,944/- per acre for the plain land and ` 1,68,000/- per acre for the remaining land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the land owners filed objections, which were referred to learned Court below who on the basis of material placed on record by the parties, determined market value of the acquired land @ ` 76/- per square yard i.e. ` 3,67,840/- per acre. Aggrieved against the award of learned Court below, both the parties are in appeal before this Court. Learned counsel for the parties very fairly conceded that the issues raised in the present set of appeals are squarely covered by a judgment of this court in LPA No. 866 of 2000 Hari Singh vs State of Haryana and others, decided on 16.9.2008, whereby ` 82/- per square yard was granted as compensation. Accordingly, for the reasons recorded in the aforesaid judgment, the present set of appeals are disposed of in same terms. 5.1.2011. (Rajesh Bindal) vs Judge
