Rajesh Bindal J. The claimants have filed the present 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 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 appellants submitted that the claim made in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 6 of 2008 State of Haryana vs Seema Rani and others, decided on 8.12.2008, whereby the compensation for the acquired land upto the depth of 100 meters on Jagadhri-Yamunanagar bye-pass was enhanced to Rs. 2,000/- per square meter and beyond that land, the award of the learned court below was upheld. The aforesaid statement of learned counsel for the landowners is not denied by the counsel for the State. Accordingly for the reasons recorded in Seema Rani's case (supra), the present appeal is disposed of in the same terms. 20.3.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
