In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 1735 of 1991 (O&M) Smt. Dwarki Devi and others ..... Appellants vs The State of Punjab ..... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Pritam Saini, Advocate, for the appellants. Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. The landowners are in appeal before this court against the award of the learned court below passed under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act') seeking further enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that State of Punjab vide notification dated 18.9.1985 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired the land situated in revenue estates of Village Sotal, Tehsil Kharar, District Ropar, for construction of SYL Canal. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the different kinds of land at different rates. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 1,00,000/- per acre for chahi, ` 80,000/- per acre for barani/bagh barani and ` 60,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kinds of land. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the claim of the appellants in the present appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 2267 of 1990 Gurdev Singh (deceased) through his LRs vs State of Punjab, decided on 26.11.2008, whereby the compensation for the acquired land was further enhanced. Learned State counsel did not dispute this factual position. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the aforesaid judgment, the present appeal is disposed of in the same terms. 18.8.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
