None for the respondents. Rajesh Bindal J. This order shall dispose of Regular First Appeal Nos. 1490, 1491, 1492, 1493, 1494, and 1655 of 1988, filed by the State for reduction R. F. A No. 1490 of 1988 2 in compensation, as the same arise out of the same acquisition. However, the facts have been extracted from R. F. A. No. 1490 of 1988. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 13.1.1981, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Punjab, acquired 5 acres of land in Village Ram nagar, Tehsil Rajpura, District Patiala, for the purpose of construction of Bhagna Nadi from R.D. 13800 to 64800. No one has appeared for the respondents. Heard learned counsel for the appellant and perused the record. Learned counsel for the appellant has not pointed out as to whether any other appeal arising out same acquisition has either been decided or pending in this court. A perusal of the award dated 18.9.1984 shows that the Collector determined the value of the land as under:- (i) Chahi Rs. 8,760/- per acre (ii) Barani Rs. 6,580/- per acre (iii) Gair Mumkin Rs. 4,380/- per acre. Considering the material on record, the learned court below determined the value of the land at Rs. 10,000/- per acre for chahi, Rs. 8,000/- per acre for Barani, and Rs. 6,000/- per acre for Gair Mumkin type of land, by granting a marginal increase for all categories of land. For the purpose of the same, the sale-deeds produced by the landowners, Ex. P-2, P-3, and P-5 were referred to and relied upon. Learned counsel for the State has not been able to point out as to in what manner the learned court below has gone wrong in assessing the value of the land, where only a marginal increase of Rs. 1,240/- per acre for chahi, Rs. 1,420/- per acre for Barani, and Rs. 1,620/- per acre for Gair Mumkin kind of land was granted. Keeping in view the aforesaid facts, I do not find any reason to interfere in the well reasoned award of the learned court below. Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed. 23.9.2008 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
