In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 565 of 1993 (O&M) The State of Punjab and another ... Appellants vs Ajmer Singh and others ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. The State of Punjab is in appeal before this Court against the award passed by learned court below seeking reduction in the amount of compensation awarded to the respondents on account of acquisition of land and trees standing thereon. 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 along with trees situated in the revenue estate of Village Lakhmipur, Tehsil and District Ropar, for the construction of SYL Canal. The Land Acquisition Collector announced his award on 30.11.1987. 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 land @ ` 60,000/- per acre. It is this award which is challenged in the present appeal. A perusal of the paper-book shows that the amount involved in the appeal is merely ` 3,458.33 paise and the acquisition having taken place more than 25 years back, I do not find any reason to interfere therein at this stage. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. 29.7.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
