R.F.A. No. 294 of 1989 [ 1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of decision: December 09, 2008 (1) R.F.A. No.294 of 1989 Rishi Parshad and others .. Appellants Versus State of Haryana .. Respondent (2) R.F.A. No. 1997 of 1989 Bhulley .. Appellant Versus State of Haryana .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: None for the appellants. Mr. Lokesh Sinhal, Additional Advocate General, Haryana for the respondent. Rajesh Bindal J. This order will dispose of above-mentioned two appeals, as the same arise out of a common acquisition. The facts have been noticed from R.F.A. No. 294 of 1989. The land owners are in appeal before this Court against the award of the learned court below seeking further enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that the land in question situated in the revenue estate of villages Ankhir/ Mewla Maharajpur was acquired vide notification dated 10.11.1982 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') for residential and commercial area in Sector 21-C, Faridabad. The same was followed by notification dated 22.2.1983 issued under Section 6 of the Act. The Land Acquisition Collector determined the market value of the acquired land at Rs. 70,000/- per acre. Aggrieved against the same, the land owners filed R.F.A. No. 294 of 1989 [ 2] objections which were referred to the learned District Judge, Faridabad, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, assessed the market value at Rs. 22/- per square yard. A perusal of the impugned award shows that the learned court below has merely relied upon an earlier award (Ex. P1) of the Reference Court pertaining to the same acquisition and determined the fair value of the acquired land accordingly. As no information is available with regard to further status of award (Ex. P1) relied upon by the learned court below and counsel for the appellants is not available, I deem it appropriate to dismiss the appeals in default. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 9.12.2008 mk
