Appellant vs State of Haryana and others .... Respondents 2. RFA No. 1604 of 1992 (O&M) State of Haryana ..... Appellant vs Hari Ram and others .... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. J. L. Malhotra, Advocate, for the landowner. Mr. Lokesh Sinhal, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. This order will dispose of aforesaid two appeals, as the same arise out of a common award. RFA No. 1612 of 1991 has been filed by the land owner seeking further enhancement of the compensation and RFA No. 1604 of 1992 has been filed by the State seeking reduction of compensation awarded to the land owners by the learned court below. The facts have been noticed from RFA No. 1612 of 1991. Briefly, the facts are that notification dated 7.10.1983, under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'), was issued for acquisition of land in the revenue estate of Village Khuram Pur Majra, Had Bast No. 41, Tehsil and District Ambala, for borrowing earth for the construction of Banks of Panjokhra Minor. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector'), vide award dated 12.9.1986 assessed the market value of the acquired land at Rs. 20,000/- per acre for barani and Rs. 10,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the land owners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, learned court below, while relying upon judgment (Ex. P1) of this court in RFA No. 1222 of 1984 Hari Ram and another vs State of Haryana decided along with RFA No. 1219 of 1984 Norata Ram vs State of Haryana, on 2.6.1988, assessed the market value of the acquired land @ Rs. 61,000/- per acre. It is this award which is impugned in the present set of appeals. RFA No. 1612 of 1991 (O&M) (2) Learned counsel for the parties very fairly submitted the issue involved in the present appeals is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in Hari Ram's case (supra), which was relied upon by the learned court below. Accordingly, the present appeals are dismissed. 12.5.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
