The landowner is in appeal before this court against the award of the learned court below seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 10.11.1982 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 (for short, “the Act”), acquired the land situated in revenue estate of Village Fatehpur Chandela, District Faridabad for development and utilisation thereof as residential and commercial area in Sector 21-C, Urban Estate Faridabad. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 70,000/- per acre. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below, on the basis of earlier award dated 8.9.1988, Ex. P-1, of the court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 22/- per square yard. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. No one has appeared for the appellant. Learned State counsel submitted that the claim made in the present appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 1758 of 1988 Parmal vs State of Haryana, decided on 25.5.2005, whereby the award of the Reference Court was upheld. The amount of compensation assessed in the present case is also in the same terms. A perusal of the impugned award shows that vide award dated 8.9.1988, Ex. P-1, the market value of the land acquired vide notification dated 10.11.1982 was determined on the basis of earlier award, Ex. P1, which was acquired for the same very purpose for which the land in the present case was acquired. Vide notification dated 10.11.1982 issued under Section 4 of the Act, the RFA No. 2903 of 1989 -2- land of villages Meola Maharajpur, Ankhir and Fatehpur Chandela was acquired for the same purpose. This court in Parmal's case (supra), upheld the award of the learned court below vide which the value of the land of village Meola Maharajpur acquired vide notification of the same date and for same very purpose was assessed @ ` 22/- per square yard. As the value of the land acquired vide notification of the same date and for the same very purpose was assessed @ ` 22/- per square yard on the basis of earlier award which is in conformity with the judgment of this court in Parmal's case (supra), prima facie, no case for further enhancement is made out. However, as no one has appeared for the appellant, the present appeal is dismissed in default. 10.8.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
