The landowners are in 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 Chandigarh Administration vide notifi- cation dated 3.7.1997, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') sought to acquire land within the revenue estate of Village Nijampur Kumbra, UT, Chandigarh for development of Sector-51, Chandigarh. Notification under Section 6 of the Act was issued on 30.06.1998. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, the Collector) vide award dated 18.12.1998 assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 10,86,500/- per acre. Separate amount was assessed for trees and super structure existing on the acquired land. Feeling dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned Court below upheld the award of the Collector. Learned counsel for the appellants fairly submitted that the land- owners in the present appeal have been granted relief pertaining to super struc- tures and the trees standing on the acquired land, which is in conformity with the judgment of this court in RFA No.727 of 2001 titled as Narinder Singh Vs. Union Territory, Chandigarh decided on 4.2.2009. Accordingly, there is no merit in the present appeal. The appeal as well as the application for condonation of delay are dismissed.
