Present: Mr.O.P.Dabla, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, for the appellants. None for the respondents. **** AJAY KUMAR MITTAL, J.(Oral) The State has challenged the award dated 30.09.1992 passed by the reference Court whereby the claimants had been granted 40% of the market value of the acquired land on account of severance of the land which is towards the abadi side and at the rate of 60% of the market value of the acquired land which is opposite to abadi side. Besides the aforesaid severance charges, the land-owners were held entitled to the payment of interest on the amount of compensation at the rate of 9% per annum from the date of their dispossession for a period of one year and at the rate of 15% per annum for the period subsequent thereto till the date of payment of the amount of compensation. The challenge in this appeal is only with regard to the amount of compensation for severance of the acquired land. Learned State counsel has very fairly accepted that against R.F.A.No.2844 of 1993 2 the similar award arising out of the same Notification of the same village, appeal bearing RFA No.3080 of 1993 filed by the State has been dismissed by this Court on 05.02.2009. In view thereof, the present appeal is also dismissed. July 08, 2009 (AJAY KUMAR MITTAL) seema JUDGE
