In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A. No. 1405 of 2009 (O&M) Smt. Bimla Devi And Others .... Appellants vs State of Haryana And Another ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. S.N. Pillania, Advocate, for the appellants. Mr. H. S. Hooda, Advocate General, Haryana with Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. Through the present appeal the landowner has approached this court for further enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 25.8.2005 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, “the Act”), acquired land situated in Village Nimnabad, Safidon, District Jind, for construction of BML Hansi Branch, Butana Branch. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the land at Rs. 5 lacs per acre. The landowners feeling dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded by the Collector, filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ Rs. 7 lacs per acre. It is this award of the learned Reference Court which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel for the parties very fairly conceded that the issue involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 3298 of 2008 State of Haryana and another vs Nirmal Singh, decided on 17.8.2009, whereby the award of the learned court below was upheld. Since this court has upheld the award of the learned court below, the claim of the appellant for further enhancement of compensation does not survive. Accordingly, for the reasons recorded in Nirmal Singh's case (supra), the present appeal is dismissed. 16.3.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) sarita Judge
