Present: Shri Sandeep Goyal, Advocate, for the appellant. Shri Lokesh Sinhal, Additional AG, Haryana. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (Oral). Challenge in the present appeal is to the Award dated 30.11.2006 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Kaithal, whereby 236 land acquisition references under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 were decided, with the lead judgment in the case of `Bijender Singh vs. State of Haryana' Land Acquisition Case No. 1 of 2006. The appeals preferred by the State of Haryana as also the land owners against the said award, were decided by this Court on 5.12.2008 in RFA No. 361 of 2007 [Jiwan Dass v. State of Haryana RFA No. 808 of 2009 [2] and another ] and other connected appeals, and the matter has been remanded back to learned District Judge for fresh determination of the amount of compensation as the market value was determined on the basis of collector's rates alone. Since the other identical appeals have been decided by this Court in RFA No. 361 of 1007 and other connected appeals [supra], the present appeal is allowed. The impugned Award is set aside. The matter is remitted back to the learned District Judge, for re- determination of the market value of the acquired land. Parties, through their counsel, are directed to appear before the learned District Judge, Kaithal, on 11.11.2009, for further proceedings, in accordance with law. [ HEMANT GUPTA ] JUDGE 14-10-2009 ds
