Present: Mr. Lokesh Sinhal, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal, J. The aforesaid appeals have been filed by the State seeking reduction of compensation on account of acquisition of land. Briefly, the facts are that the land in question, situated in village Kheri Nangal, Tehsil and District Panipat was acquired vide notification dated 15.12.1982 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') for development and utilisation thereof as residential, commercial and Industrial in Sector 25, Part-II, Panipat. It was followed by notification under Section 6 of the Act on 11.12.1985. The Land Acquisition Collector gave award of Rs. 45,000/- per acre for chahi and Rs. 40,000/- for gair mumkin kind of land. Aggrieved against the same, the land owners filed objections which were referred to the learned Additional District Judge, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, awarded Rs. 44/- per square yard for the acquired land. It is this award which is impugned in the present set of appeals. This court in Jogi Ram and others vs State of Haryana and another (1997-2) 116 PLR 303, has further enhanced the fair market value of the land of adjoining villages, namely, Taraf Afgan, Ugra Kheri and Malik Ugra Kheri, which was acquired for the same purpose vide same notification. RFA No. 562 of 1994 -2- Learned Additional Advocate General has not disputed the abovesaid factual position. Since this court in Jogi Ram's case (supra), has further enhanced the compensation for the land acquired vide same notification and for same purpose, the appeals filed by the State for reduction do not survive. Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed. 30.4.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
