In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh Civil Misc. No. 4428/CI of 2007 and RFA No. 1876 of 2007 (O&M) State of Haryana ..... Appellant vs Tek Ram (deceased) through LRs and others ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. B. S. Rana, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. The State has filed the present appeal against the award dated 27.2.2006 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Faridabad. Along with the present appeal, an application for condonation of delay of 344 days in filing the appeal has also been filed. Briefly, the facts are that land situated in the revenue estate of Village Jharsentli, Hadbast No. 44, Tehsil Ballabgarh, District Faridabad, was acquired vide Notification dated 26.12.1988, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, by the State of Haryana for development and utilisation as Industrial area in Sector-58 of Faridabad-Ballabgarh controlled area under the HUDA Act 1977. The Land Acquisition Collector awarded total amount of Rs. 19,81,27,518.80 as compensation for the acquisition of land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners/claimants filed objections. The learned Additional District Judge, on reference under Section 18 of the Act, enhanced the compensation @ of Rs. 150/- per square yard. The fact that the claim made in the present appeal has already been decided by this court in RFA No. 2263 of 1995 Bir Singh and others vs State of Haryana, decided on 13.2.2001, whereby the compensation payable to the landowners was further enhanced to Rs. 165/- per square yard, is not disputed by the learned Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Since this court in Bir Singh's case (supra) had enhanced the compensation payable to the landowners, the claim made by the State in the present appeal does not survive. Accordingly, the present appeal as well as the application for condonation of delay in filing the appeal, are dismissed. 30.5.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
