Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Mr. Sandeep Goyal, Advocate for Mr. Jagdish Manchanda, Advocate, for the landowners in RFA No. 2792 of 1994. Rajesh Bindal J. This order will dispose of RFA Nos. 2792 to 2799 of 1994, arising out of same acquisition. 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 landowners for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that State of Haryana sought to acquire land measuring 6.55 acres situated in the revenue estate of Village Palehari, Tehsil and District Karnal, vide notification dated 10.1.1977 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'), for construction of Khot Pura Barani Road. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') vide award dated 25.9.1985, assessed the compensation for the acquired land @ ` 9,000/- per acre for chahi and ` 3,000/- per acre for banjar qadim kind of land. Aggrieved against the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned Court below keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, awarded compensation of ` 14,000/- per acre. It is this award of the learned court below which is impugned by the State of Haryana before this court. RFA No. 2792 of 1994 (2) A perusal of the paper-book shows that the amount involved in the present set of appeals is quite meager and the acquisition having taken place more than 34 years back, I do not find any reason to interfere therein at this stage. Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed. 11.5.2011 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
