Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. This order shall dispose of appeals bearing RFA Nos. 1721 of 1988 and 88 of 1990, as common questions of law and facts are involved in these appeals. The landowners have filed the appeals seeking enhancement of compensation. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 4.6.1980, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Haryana sought to acquire land, situated in village Karnal, Hadbast No. 1 (District Karnal), for development and utilisation thereof as residential and commercial area at Karnal. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short 'the Collector') vide award dated 6.7.1985 assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 28,512.06 per acre for chahi/ nehri and ` 22,080/- per acre for barani, ` 4,808/- per acre for banjar quadim and ` 13,440/- per acre for remaining kinds of land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners/claimants filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 33/- per square yard. It is this award which is impugned in the present set of appeals. RFA No. 1721 of 1988 (2) Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the issue involved in the present set of appeals is squarely covered by judgment of this court in Dr. Rajwant Singh (died) through LRs vs State of Haryana, 2008 (2) RCR (Civil) 780, whereby the compensation payable for acquisition of land was further enhanced. Learned Assistant Advocate General, Haryana, did not dispute the aforesaid factual position. For the detailed reasons recorded in Dr. Rajwant Singh's case (supra), the appeals are disposed of in the same terms. 7.12.2011 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
