(Oral) This petition has been filed by the Improvement Trust against the award dated 4.12.1985 rendered by the Land Acquisition Tribunal under the provisions of the Punjab Town Improvement Act, 1922 (for short `the Act'). Land of respondent No. 2 was acquired in pursuance of notification dated 28.6.1981 under Section 36 of the Act and notification dated 16.3.1982 under Section 42 of the Act. The Collector determined compensation ranging from Rs.15/- to Rs.45/- per biswansi. The Tribunal enhanced the same to Rs.10/- per square yard. The Tribunal has based its award on a sale deed of 1960, while the relevant notification in the present case is of 28.6.1981. Thus, the compensation awarded by the Tribunal cannot held to be too high. In fact it may be possible to say that the same is too low. In view of the above, we do not find any substance in this petition. The same is dismissed. (ADARSH KUMAR GOEL) JUDGE 16.1.2009 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) mk JUDGE
