In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A No. 3989 of 2009 (O&M) Basant Singh ..... Appellant vs State of Haryana and others ... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Adarsh Jain, Advocate, for the appellant. Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. The landowner has approached this court for enhancement of compensation for the acquisition of land. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 22.8.1988, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Haryana acquired land in Village Mewla Maharajpur, Tehsil Ballabgarh, district Faridabad, for public purpose namely for the development and utilisation thereof as residential and commercial area in Sector-46, Part-II of Faridabad-Ballabgarh. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 3,50,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowner/claimant filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below on the basis of earlier judgment of this court in LPA No. 920 of 1994 – Horam vs Haryana State, decided on 27.7.2005, determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 200/- per square yard. Learned counsel for the parties very fairly submitted that the issue involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by the Division Bench judgment of this court in Horam's case (supra). Since the compensation payable to the landowners was assessed on the basis of earlier judgment of this court, no case for further enhancement is made out. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. 27.7.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
