The landowners are in appeal before this court against the award of the learned court below passed under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act') seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that vide notification dated 12.11.1992 issued under Section 4 of the Act, the State of Punjab acquired land of village Kumbra, Tehsil Kharar, District Ropar for setting up residential urban estate in the area of Tehsil Kharar, District Ropar. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 1,75,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the award, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned Court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 5,60,000/- per acre. Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the claim made by the appellants in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 2348 of 1998 Kapoor Singh vs The State of Punjab and another, decided on 28.1.2010, whereby the compensation for the acquired land was enhanced to Rs. 7,80,000/- per acre. Learned State counsel did not dispute this factual position. Accordingly, for the reasons recorded in Kapoor Singh's case (supra), the present appeal is disposed of in the same terms. 27.7.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
