IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH R.F.A. No. 1268 of 2004 (O&M) Date of Decision: 10.2.2009 Charan Singh and others ....Appellants Versus Union Territory, Chandigarh ...Respondent CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. P.C. Dhiman, Advocate for the appellants. RAJESH BINDAL J The landowners have approached this Court through the present appeal for enhancement of compensation for super-structures existing on the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 20.8.1998, issued under Section 4 of the Land acquisition Act, 1984, ( for short 'the Act'), the Union Territory, Chandigarh acquired 182.87 acres of land within the revenue estate of village Nizampur Burail, Nizampur Kumbra, Kajheri and Jhumru, for development of third phase of UT, Chandgiarh. The same was followed vide notification dated 16.11.1998 issued under Section 6 of the Act. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short 'the Collector') assessed the compensation for super- structures and trees existing on the acquired land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the land owner/claimant filed objection. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned Court below granted 25 % increase on the value of the super-structures as was assessed by the Collector at PWD rates. Learned counsel for the appellant very fairly submitted that the learned Reference Court in this case has awarded compensation for the super structure by taking its value as determined by the Collector by further granting increase @ 25 % thereon, which is in conformity with the judgment of this Court in RFA No. 663 of 2004 decided on August 2, 2006, titled as Union Territory, Chandigarh vs. Sajjan Singh. Accordingly, the claim made in the present appeal does not survive. For the reasons stated in Sajjan Singh's case (supra), the appeal is dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 10.2.2009 JUDGE Reema
