In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A No. 2401 of 2008 (O&M) Union Territory, Chandigarh ..... Appellant vs Inderbir Singh ..... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: None for the appellant. Mr. P. C. Dhiman, Advocate, for the respondent. Rajesh Bindal J. The Union Territory, Chandigarh 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 reduction in compensation for the superstructure existing on the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that Union Territory, Chandigarh vide notification dated 20.8.1998 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired land forming part of the revenue estate of Village Nizampur Kumbra, Nizampur Burial, Kajheri and Jhumru. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the acquired land. The land owners feeling dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded by the Collector, filed objections. Aggrieved against the award of superstructures, the landowners filed objections which were referred to the learned Reference Court, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, partly accepted the same by granting increase of 25% on account of acquisition of superstructure on the compensation as was assessed at PWD rates. It is this order which is impugned in the present appeal. Since the learned court below had already granted 25% increase on the compensation for acquisition of superstructures at the rates determined by PWD which is in conformity with judgment of this court in R. F. A. No. 579 of 2006 Smt. Akko Devi and others vs Union Territory, Chandigarh and another, decided on 1.10.2008, the claim made by the appellant for reduction in compensation already granted by the learned reference court prima facie does not survive. However, as no one has appeared for the appellant, the present appeal is dismissed for non-prosecution. 29.1.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
