Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Adish Gupta, Advocate, for the appellants. Mr. Lokesh Sinhal, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. 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 enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 10.11.1982 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired the land situated in revenue estate of Village Ankhir/Mewala Maharajpur, Tehsil Ballabgarh, District Faridabad, for development and utilisation thereof as residential and commercial area for Sector 21-C, Faridabad. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the land at Rs. 70,000/- per acre. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below vide award dated 8.9.1988, determined the market value of the acquired land @ Rs. 22/- per square yard. Learned counsel for the parties do not dispute that the claim made in the appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in R. F. A. No. 1758 of 1988 Parmal vs State of Haryana, decided on 25.5.2005, whereby the award of the Reference Court was upheld. The amount of compensation assessed in the present case is also in the same terms. Accordingly, the claim made in the appeal does not survive. For the reasons recorded in Parmal's case (supra), the present appeal is dismissed. 17.12.2008 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
