Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. R. S. Mamli, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Lokesh Sinhal, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. The landowner is 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 are that vide notification dated 28.8.2001, issued under Section 4 of the Act, land measuring 60.94 acres situated in village Gobindpura, Hadbast No. 407, Tehsil Jagadhri, District Yamunanagar was acquired for construction of road in Sector 18, Jagadhri. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') determined the market value of the acquired land at Rs. 6,00,000/- per acre. As the land owners were dissatisfied, they filed objections, which were referred to the learned Additional District Judge, Jagadhri for consideration, who keeping in view the material placed before him, determined the market value of the land at Rs. 11,32,800/- per acre. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the claim made in the present appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 6 of 2008 State of Haryana vs Seema Rani and others decided on 8.12.2008, whereby upto the depth of 100 meters on Jagadhri-Yamunanagar bye-pass, the value of the land was assessed at Rs. 2,000/- per square meter and for the land behind that, the award of the learned court below was upheld. Learned Additional Advocate General does not dispute this factual position. For the reasons recorded in Seema Rani's case (supra), the present appeal is allowed in the same terms. 11.5.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
