(ORAL) This order shall dispose of four appeals, namely RFA Nos.2646, 2647, 2648 and 2505 all of the year 1992, three filed by the State of Haryana and one filed by the landowners/claimants, as common questions of law and facts are involved therein. Land measuring 9.77 acres of village Daulatpur Nasirabad (Carterpuri), H.B. No.63, and Choma H.B No.62 Tehsil and District, Gurgaon was notified vide notification issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short ‘the Act’) dated 18.1.1984 followed by notification of declaration issued under Section 6 of the Act dated 19.12.1984, for a public purpose, namely, for development and utilization of land as Sector road under Haryana Urban Development Authority (in short ‘HUDA’). The Collector vide his award No.3 dated 2.4.1987 considering the entire land as Chahi awarded compensation @ Rs.1 lac per acre. RFA No. 2646 of 1992 - 2 - Objections filed under Section 18 of the Act, the learned reference Court while relying upon the previous award of this Court rendered in RFA No.779 of 1990 titled as “Munshi vs. The Land Acquisition Collector, Urban Estate Haryana” assessed compensation @ Rs.68.80 per square yard, alongwith other statutory benefits in terms of the provisions of the amended Act. Mr.H.S. Hooda, Advocate General, Haryana assisted by Mr.Rajiv Kawatra, Sr.DAG, Haryana has submitted that the market value of the land fixed in the case of Munshi (supra) has already been upheld in appeal and there is no further enhancement. This statement is not disputed by Mr.R.A. Yadav, learned counsel appearing for the respondent(s). In view of the above, there is no scope for further enhancement in the present appeal because the reference Court has granted 12% p.a. increase over and above the amount determined in the case of Munshi (supra). In view of the above, I do not find any scope for further enhancement nor any such plea has been raised by counsel for the landowners worth consideration. I also do not find any ground to reduce the compensation awarded by the Court below. In view of above, the present appeals filed by the State of Haryana as well as landowners are hereby dismissed without any order as to costs. (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) 20.11.2008 JUDGE vivek
