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 vide notification dated 12.11.1992 issued under Section 4 of the Act, the State of Punjab acquired trees along with the land of village Kumbra, Tehsil Kharar, District Ropar for setting up residential urban estate in the area of Tehsil Kharar, District Ropar. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the land at ` 2,40,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the award, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned Court below assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 6,50,000/- per acre . It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that issue raised in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 2348 of 1998 Kapoor Singh vs The State of Punjab and another, decided on 28.1.2010, whereby the compensation payable to the land owners has been further enhanced. Learned State counsel did not dispute this factual position. For the detailed reasons stated in aforesaid judgment, the present appeal is disposed of in the same terms. 6.8.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
