This order will dispose of R.F.A. Nos. 4074, 4097 to 4100, 4145, 4352 and 4365 of 2011, as common questions of law and facts are involved. The land owners are in appeal seeking enhancement of compensation awarded by the learned court below for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that vide notification dated 9.8.2002, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'), State of Haryana sought to acquire 277.46 acres of land in the revenue estate of village Patti Kaisth Seth Kaithal, Tehsil and District Kaithal, for public purpose of development and utilisation as residential, commercial and institutional Sector 21, Kaithal. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') assessed the market value of the land @ 5,00,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the land owners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the R.F.A. No. 4074 of 2011 [2] learned court below vide award dated 1.6.2010, determined fair value of the acquired land @ ` 280/- per square yard. Learned counsel for the appellants fairly submitted that the claim made by the appellants in the present bunch of appeals is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in R.F.A. No. 254 of 2008—Parveen Kumari v. State of Haryana and others, decided on 4.4.2011, whereby the market value of the acquired land assessed @ ` 280/- per square yard by the learned court below, was upheld. Accordingly, for the detailed reasons recorded in Parveen Kumari's case (supra), the appeals are dismissed. The accompanying applications are also dismissed. ( Rajesh Bindal ) Judge 13.12.2011 mk
