Rajesh Bindal J. This order shall dispose of the aforesaid appeals, as the same arise out of a common acquisition. The landowners are before this court against the award of the learned court below under the Land Acquisition Act, 1984 (for short, “the Act”) seeking R. F. A No. 1321 of 1997 -2- further enhancement of compensation for the acquired land whereas the State of Punjab is seeking reduction in compensation. Briefly, the facts are that the State of Punjab vide notification dated 6.8.1991 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired land of Village Khumna, Hadbast No. 12, Tehsil Amloh, District Fatehgarh Sahib, for the construction of the Amloh Ex-servicemen Co-operative Sugar Mills and Allied Industries Limited at Salana Jeon Singh Wala, Tehsil Amloh, District Fatehgarh Sahib. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the land @ Rs. 1 lac and Rs. 70,500/- per acre for chahi-A and Chahi-B respectively. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below, determined the market value of the acquired land @ Rs. 1,55,500/- per acre. It is this award, which is impugned in the present set of appeals by both the parties. Learned counsel for the parties are agreed that the issues raised in the present set of appeals are squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 1311 of 1997 – The State of Punjab and another vs Arjan Singh and another, decided on 2.2.2010. Accordingly, for the reasons recorded in the aforesaid judgment, the present appeals are disposed of in the same terms. 30.4.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
