RFA No. 4153 of 2002 (1) In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 4153 of 2002 (O&M) Date of decision : 11.5.2011 State of Haryana and another ... Appellants vs Randhir Singh ..... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Mr. Tapan Kumar Yadav, Advocate, for the landowners. Rajesh Bindal J. This order will dispose of RFA Nos. 4153 to 4158 of 2002, arising out of same acquisition. The State of Haryana is in appeal before this Court against the award passed by learned court below seeking reduction in the amount of compensation awarded to the landowners for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that State of Haryana sought to acquire land measuring 20.78 acres situated in the revenue estate of Village Budoli, Tehsil and District Rewari, vide notification dated 14.12.1979 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'), for construction of Dewana Distributory. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') vide award dated 28.6.1980, assessed the compensation for the acquired land @ ` 12,000/- per acre for chahi; ` 10,000/- per acre for barani; ` 7,000/- per acre for Tiba/bhud; and ` 4,000/- per acre for banjar kind of land. The landowners placing reliance of other award of the Reference Court for the same acquisition filed application under Section 28-A (3) of the Act. The learned Court below keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, awarded compensation of ` 25,000/- per acre. It is this award of the learned court below which is impugned by the State of Haryana before this court. RFA No. 4153 of 2002 (2) A perusal of the paper-book shows that the amount involved in the present set of appeals is quite meager and the acquisition having taken place more than 32 years back, I do not find any reason to interfere therein at this stage. Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed. 11.5.2011 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
