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 order of the learned court below seeking reduction of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Punjab vide notification dated 11.10.1985 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 (for short, “the Act”), acquired the land situated in revenue estate of Village Powala, Tehsil Rajpura, District Patiala, for construction of Sutlej Yamuna Link Canal. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of different kinds of land at different rates. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below, determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 75,000/- per acre for rousli kind of land. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned State counsel submitted that the claim made in the present appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 349 of 1990- Punjab State vs Madan Lal and others, decided on 23.9.1999, whereby compensation payable to the landowners was further enhanced. Since this court had further enhanced the compensation payable to the landowners, no case for reduction is made out. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. 10.8.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
