In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A. No. 2760 of 2009 (O&M) Jeet Singh .... Appellant vs State of Haryana and Another ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: None for the appellant. Mr. H. S. Hooda, Advocate General, Haryana with Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. Through the present appeal the landowners have approached this court for further enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 25.8.2005 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, “the Act”), acquired land situated in Village Nimnabad, Safidon, District Jind, for construction of BML Hansi Branch, Butana Branch. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the land at Rs. 5 lacs per acre. The landowners feeling dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded by the Collector, filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ Rs. 7 lacs per acre. It is this award of the learned Reference Court which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned State counsel submitted that the issue involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 3298 of 2008 State of Haryana and another vs Nirmal Singh, decided on 17.8.2009, whereby the award of the learned court below was upheld. A perusal of aforesaid judgment shows that issue dealt with therein was regarding determination of fair value of the land acquired vide notification dated 25.8.2005. Since this court has upheld the award of the learned court below, the claim of the appellants in the present appeal for further enhancement of compensation prima facie does not survive. However, still as learned counsel for the appellant is not available, the appeal is dismissed in default. 16.3.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) sarita Judge
