In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 105 of 1992 (O&M) The State of Punjab ... Appellant vs Anokh Singh and another ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. The State of Punjab is in appeal before this Court against the award passed by learned court below seeking reduction in the amount of compensation awarded to the respondents on account of acquisition of trees standing on the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that super structure in question situated in the revenue estate of Village Hulka, Tehsil Rajpura, District Patiala, was acquired vide notification dated 18.9.1985 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'). The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') announced his award on 25.5.1988. Against the award of the Collector, the respondent 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 ` 7,600/- for trees and dismissed the reference regarding enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. The enhancement of compensation regarding trees has been challenged by the State of Punjab before this court. A perusal of the paper-book shows that the amount involved in the appeal is merely ` 7,418 and the acquisition having taken place more than 25 years back, I do not find any reason to interfere therein at this stage. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. 27.7.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
