The claimant has filed the present 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 enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 8.2.1990, issued under Section 4 of the Act, Government of Punjab acquired land in village Rampura Phul for construction of New Grain Market at Rampura Phul. The same was followed by notification dated 28.1.1991, issued under Section 6 of the Act. The Land Acquisition Collector determined the market value of the acquired land at different rates for the land situated at different places. Aggrieved against the award, the land owners filed objections which were referred to the learned Additional District Judge, Bhatinda, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, awarded compensation @ Rs. 225/- per square yards for the land underneath the shops and booths. He further determined the market value of the rest of the land @ Rs. 90,000/- per acre for Nehri and Chahi kind of land. Learned counsel for the parties are agreed that the claim made in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 317 of 2004 Smt. Shanti Devi vs The Collector and others, decided on 17.2.2009, whereby the award of the learned court below was set aside and the matter was remitted back for fresh consideration. Accordingly for the reasons recorded in Smt. Shanti Devi's case (supra), the present appeal is disposed of in the same terms. The parties through their counsels are directed to appear before District Judge, Bathinda, on 2.5.2009, for further proceedings. 20.3.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
