A No. 1242 of 1989 2 Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: None for the appellants. Mr. B. B. S. Teji, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. This order shall dispose of Regular First Appeal Nos. 1242, 1243, 1244, 1245, 1274, 1345 and 2684 of 1989, filed by the landowners for further enhancement of compensation, as the same arise out of the same acquisition. However, the facts have been extracted from R. F. A. No. 1242 of 1989. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 23.6.1982, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Punjab acquired the land of the appellants/landowners. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the land at Rs. 21,500/- per acre for chahi, Rs. 12,000/- per acre for banjar jadid, Rs. 10,000/- per acre for banjar qadim and Rs. 10,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Collector, the appellants/landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below vide award dated 24.12.1988, determined the market value of the acquired land at Rs. 32,250/- per acre. Learned Assistant Advocate General, Punjab, submitted that the claim made by the appellants in the present appeals is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in R.F.A. No. 1805 of 1989 – The State of Punjab and another vs Amrik Singh and another, decided on 25.2.2004, whereby the award of the learned court below was upheld. In view of the fact that the award of the learned court below has already been upheld by this court in Amrik Singh's case (supra), the present appeals are dismissed. 17.9.2008 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
