In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A No. 311 of 1992 (O&M) Sis Ram and others ..... Appellants vs Haryana State and another ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: None for the appellants. Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. 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 of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 10.1.1983 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired the land situated in revenue estate of Village Jharsa, Tehsil and District Gurgaon, for the development and utilisation of land for residential purpose at Gurgaon. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of different kinds of land at different rates. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land which is situated in the rear portion to the National Highway at Rs. 68/- per square yard and for the land which is within the depth of ten yards from National Highway at Rs. 136/- per square yard. Learned State counsel submitted that the claim made in the present appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 2868 of 1992 Balai Ram and others vs State of Haryana and another, decided on 19.11.2008, whereby award of the Reference Court was upheld. The amount of compensation assessed in the present case is also in the same terms. Since the award of the learned court below has already been upheld by this court in Balai Ram's case (supra), the present appeal prima facie does not survive, however, as no one has appeared for the appellants, the appeal is dismissed for non-prosecution. 12.1.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
