In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A. No. 820 of 2003 (O&M) State of Haryana ..... Appellant vs Smt. Dharam Devi and another ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Mr. Rakesh Nagpal, Advocate, for the respondents. Rajesh Bindal J. The State has filed the present appeal 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 the compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that vide Notification dated 25.9.1989, issued under Section 4 of the Act, the State of Haryana acquired land situated in Village Patti Kaisth Seth, Kaithal, for the development and utilisation as residential, commercial and institutional area, Sector-20, Kaithal. The Land Acquisition Collector vide his award dated 8.4.1991, determined the market value of the land @ ` 1,00,000/- per acre. Aggrieved against the same, the landowners filed objections which were referred to the learned Additional District Judge, Kaithal, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, determined the value of the land at ` 2,70,000/- per acre. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel for the parties submitted that the issue involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in LPA No. 1046 of 2001- Mohinder Singh vs State of Haryana and another, decided on 9.9.2008, whereby the amount of compensation payable to the landowners was further enhanced to ` 2,89,701/- per acre. Since this court has further enhanced the compensation payable to the landowners, no case for reduction of compensation can possibly be made out. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. 26.7.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
