Present: Mr.Abhishek Jain, Advocate, for Mr.Pritam Saini, Advocate, for the appellants. Ms.K.K.Kahlon, Advocate, for the respondents. **** M EHINDER S INGH S ULLAR , J.(oral) The epitome of the facts, culminating in the commencement, relevant for disposal of the present appeal and emanating from the record is, that the Government of India had acquired a big chunk of land, including the land and super structure of the appellants, for defence purposes, in the wake of Notification dated 02.02.1977, published on 23.12.1977, under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894(hereinafter to be referred as “the Act”). 2. Having completed all the codal formalities of the Act, the Land Acquisition Collector passed award No.12 dated 04.03.1980 and a supplementary award was announced on 30.05.1981 in respect of super structures. 3. Aggrieved by the award of the Land Acquisition Collector, the appellants raised a dispute and filed the reference petition under Section 18 of the Act, for enhancement of compensation. 4. The parties to the lis produced on record oral as well as the documentary evidence, in order to substantiate their respective stands. R.F.A. No.83 of 1989 2 5. Taking into consideration the evidence on record, the Additional District Judge, Gurdaspur, decided the reference petition, by way of impugned judgment dated 04.08.1988. 6. The appellants did not feel satisfied with the assessment of the price of super structures in the impugned judgment and preferred the present regular first appeal. 7. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, going through the record with their valuable help and after considering the entire matter deeply, to my mind, no ground for enhancement of any amount of super structures, is made out, particularly when, it is not a matter of dispute that the same award of the Additional District Judge, has already been upheld by this Court in R.F.A. No.1549 of 1989 titled as Union of India and others Versus Smt.Pindi Devi, decided on 23.03.2011. 8. In the light of aforesaid reasons, as the award has already been upheld by this Court, therefore, no ground for interference in the impugned judgment, is made out. Consequently, the instant appeal is hereby dismissed in the obtaining circumstances of the case. August 01, 2011 (MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR) seema JUDGE
