In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A No. 3946 of 2002 (O&M) Haryana Urban Development Authority .... Appellant vs Mandir Narsinghpuri and others .... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: None for HUDA. Mr. D. D. Gupta, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. The HUDA has filed the aforesaid appeal seeking reduction of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 21.3.1991 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short 'the Act') acquired land situated within the area of Hadbast No. 146, Tehsil and District Hisar, for development and utilization thereof as residential sector 16 and parts of Sectors 11, 13, 15, 16 and 17 of Hisar. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 3,00,000/- per acre for category 'A', ` 2,50,000/- per acre for category 'B' (abutting railway lines and cremation ground), and ` 2,00,000/- per acre category 'C' land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference, the learned Court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 125/- per square yard. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel for the State submitted that the issues raised in the present appeal are squarely covered by judgment of this court in LPA No. 953 of 2000 Partap Singh vs State of Haryana, dated 11.1.2006, whereby the compensation payable to the landowners was further enhanced. No one has appeared for the appellant HUDA. Since this court had further enhanced the compensation payable to the landowners for the acquired land, prima-facie, no case for interference is made out. However, as no one has appeared in support of the claim made in the appeal, the same is dismissed in default. Copy of the order be sent to Chief Secretary, Haryana. 24.12.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
