R.F.A. No.1849 of 1990 and other connected case IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH (1) R.F.A. No.1849 of 1990 The State of Punjab and another ......Appellants Versus Chhikkan .....Respondent (2) R.F.A. No.276 of 1994 The State of Punjab and another ......Appellants Versus Nihal Chand .....Respondent Date of Decision:06.09.2011 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR. Present: Mr.C.S.Brar, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, for the appellants. Nemo for the respondent. **** M EHINDER S INGH S ULLAR , J.(oral) At the very outset, learned State Counsel appearing on behalf of the appellants has stated that the controversy involved in these appeals is squarely covered and are liable to be disposed of in the same terms of the judgment dated 17.04.2009 of a Coordinate Bench of this Court (Rajesh Bindal, J.), rendered in R.F.A. No.1844 of 1990 titled as State of Punjab and another Versus Ram Ditta Ram Sarpanch, the operative part of which is, as under:- “A perusal of the impugned award shows that as against the compensation of Rs.62,000/- per acre for chahi kind of land and Rs.35,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land, the learned court below had made a very meager increase therein to Rs.66,340/- per acre for chahi kind of land and Rs.37,450/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land. The acquisition in the present case was made vide notification dated 26.9.1985. Considering the fact that increase is quite marginal, I do not find ground to interfere in the R.F.A. No.1849 of 1990 and other connected case impugned award 24 years after the acquisition. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed.” In the light of aforesaid reasons, as there is no merit, therefore, the instant appeals filed by the State of Punjab are hereby dismissed in the same terms of the judgment dated 17.04.2009 of this Court in Ram Ditta Ram Sarpanch's case(supra).
