A. Yadav, Advocate, for the appellants. Mr. H. S. Hooda, Advocate General, Haryana with Mr. Rajiv Kawatra, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. This appeal has been filed by the landowners for further enhancement of compensation awarded by the learned court below. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 30.1.1989, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Haryana acquired 452.50 acres of land in Villages Khandsa, Jharsa and Naharpur Roopa, Tehsil and District Gurgaon, for public purpose namely for the development and utilisation of land for commercial-industrial/Transport Sectors 33 and 34 Gurgaon. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the land at Rs. 1,50,000/- per acre for Village Khandsa, Rs. 1,75,000/- per acre for village Jharsa, and Rs. 1,25,000/- per acre for Village Naharpur Roopa. Dissatisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below vide award dated 2.3.2000, determined the market value of the acquired land at Rs.7,22,500/- per acre. Learned counsel for the appellants very fairly submitted that the issue involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in R.F.A. No. 59 of 1997 – Attar Singh and others vs State of Haryana, decided on 13.5.1999, whereby the award of the learned court below was upheld. Learned Advocate General, Haryana, did not dispute this fact. Since the award of the learned court below was upheld by this court in Attar Singh's case (supra), the present appeal do not survive. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. 24.9.2008 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
