In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 1449 of 1993 (O&M) The State of Punjab ... Appellant vs Atma Singh (deceased) through LRs and others ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. None for the respondents. Rajesh Bindal J. The State of Punjab is in appeal appeal before this Court against the award passed by learned court below seeking reduction in the amount of compensation awarded by the learned court below. Briefly, the facts are that State of Punjab vide notification issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') acquired land situated within the revenue estate of village Pathar Majra, Tehsil Kharar, District Ropar for construction of SYL Canal. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections which were referred to the learned Court below for consideration, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 85,000/- per acre for chahi and ` 60,000/- per acre for barani kind of land. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned State counsel could not point out as to whether any appeal was filed against the award dated 23.4.1991, Ex. P-2, which was the basis of determination of market value of the acquired land in the present appeal. Moreover, the dispute sought to be raised by the State in the present appeal is merely for ` 5,164.58 paise. Keeping in view that the claim of the appellant in the present appeal is quite marginal and the acquisition having taken place more than 25 years back, I do not find any reason to interfere at this stage. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. 29.7.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
