In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 2935 of 1994 (O&M) State of Haryana ... Appellant vs Hazara Singh (deceased) through LRs and others ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. The State of Haryana is in appeal before this Court against the award passed by learned court below seeking reduction in the amount of compensation awarded to the respondents on account of the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 5.2.1991 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') acquired land measuring 9 marlas in the revenue estate of Village Gudda, Tehsil Indri, District Karnal for construction of 400 KV Tower Line. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') assessed the market value of the land @ ` 2,75,000/- per acre. Against the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections which were referred to the learned Court below for consideration, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, awarded compensation of ` 4,00,000/- per acre. The enhancement of compensation has been challenged by the State before this court. A perusal of the paper-book shows that the land acquired is just 9 marlas and the acquisition having taken place more than 21 years back, I do not find any reason to interfere therein at this stage. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. 28.7.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
