IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH R.F.A. No. 1778 of 1989 Date of decision: September 17, 2008 Union of India and another .. Appellants v. Bhau and others .. Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: None Rajesh Bindal J. The appellants are in appeal appeal before this Court against the award dated 11.4.1989, passed by learned Additional District Judge, Gurdaspur for reduction in the amount of compensation awarded to respondent No.1 on account of acquisition of super structure. Briefly, the facts are that super structure in question situated in the revenue estate of Village Jharoli, Tehsil Pathankot, District Gurdaspur was acquired vide notification dated 26.9.1977 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'). The same was followed by notification under Section 6 of the Act on 10.4.1978. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') gave award of Rs. 2962.35 pertaining to super structure on 16.9.1980. Respondent No.1 filed objections which were referred to the learned Court below for consideration, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, awarded compensation of Rs. 7700/-. Respondent No.1 in the present case claimed a sum of Rs. 12,000/- on account of acquisition of super structure and additional sum of Rs. 500/- was claimed for shifting. However, only a sum of Rs. 2962.35 was granted by the Collector. Keeping in view that the increase made by the learned Court below in the amount of compensation payable on account of acquisition of super structure was quite marginal and the acquisition having taken place around 30 years back, I do not find any reason to interfere therein at this stage. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 17.9.2008 mk
