In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A. No. 537 of 1993 (O&M) State of Punjab and others ..... Appellants vs Bhagat Ram ..... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. B. B. S. Teji, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. H. K. Brinda, Advocate, for the respondent. Rajesh Bindal J. The State has filed the present appeal against the award dated 20.12.1992 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Rupnagar. Briefly, the facts are that 1 kanal 15 marlas barani land of the claimants was acquired by the State of Punjab for construction of SYL Canal. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the compensation for different kinds of land at different rates. Aggrieved against the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections which were referred to the learned Additional District Judge. The learned Additional District Judge, enhanced the compensation to Rs. 80,000/- per acre, relying on earlier award dated 2.4.1991 (Ex. P1) of the court below which was subsequently upheld by this court in R. F. A. No. 2784 of 1992- The State of Punjab and another vs Bhagat Ram, decided on 25.10.1994. Learned counsel for the State very fairly submitted that as the claim made by the appellant in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in Bhagat Ram's case (supra) where the award of the court below regarding acquisition of land pertaining to the same notification was upheld, the claim made by the State in the present appeal does not survive. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. 4.3.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
