IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RFA No. 3088 of 1999 (O&M) State of Haryana and another … Appellants vs Dhaja Ram and another …. Respondents Present : Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. None for the landowners. Rajesh Bindal, J. This order will dispose of appeals bearing RFA Nos. 3088 of 1999 and 788 of 2001, as the same arise out of common award. The State of Haryana has filed appeal seeking reduction of compensation whereas by filing appeal the landowners are seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana, vide notification dated 28.6.1994 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, “the Act”), acquired land situated within the revenue estate of village Taraf Rajputan, Tehsil and District Panipat, for construction of Sewerage Treatment Plant. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, 'the Collector’) assessed the fair market value of the acquired land @ ` 170/- per square yard upto the depth of three acres from the canal and ` 125/- for the remaining land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below upheld the award of the Collector. It is this award which is challenged by both the parties before this court. It is not disputed by the learned counsel for the State that the claim made in the present set of appeals is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 3153 of 2002 -Baru Ram and others vs State of Haryana and another decided on 23.3.2010, whereby compensation payable to the landowners for the acquired land vide same notification for the same very purpose was determined @ ` 12,22,550/- per acre. Since this court had further enhanced the compensation payable to the landowners, the appeal filed by the State does not survive. Accordingly, the same is dismissed, whereas the appeal filed by the landowners is disposed of in terms of judgment in Baru Ram's case (supra). 12.1.2011 (Rajesh Bindal) vs Judge
