Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Naresh Kaushal, Advocate, for the appellant. Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. The landowner is in appeal before this court against the award of the learned court below passed under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act') seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that vide notification dated 11.11.1993 issued under Section 4 of the Act, land situated within the revenue estate of Village Sohana, Tehsil Mohali, District Ropar (now District Mohali) was acquired for setting up of Industrial focal Point at SAS Nagar (Mohali). The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the value of the land @ ` 1,75,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the claimants/landowners filed objections, which were referred to the learned court below. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below assessed the compensation @ ` 6,96,000/- per acre. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the claim made in the present appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 2322 of 1998 Harbachan Kaur and others vs The State of Punjab, decided on 23.8.2006, whereby the compensation payable to the landowners was further enhanced to ` 8,00,000/- per acre. Learned State counsel did not dispute this factual position. For the reasons recorded in Harbachan Kaur's case (supra), the present appeal is disposed of in the same terms. 12.8.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
