The landowners have approached this court by filing appeals and cross-objections for further enhancement of compensation, whereas the State of Haryana has filed appeals seeking reduction in the compensation. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 8.5.1995, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Haryana acquired land in village Uncha Gaon, Malerna and Chandawali, Tehsil Ballabgarh, District Faridabad, for the development and utilisation thereof as Sectors 61 and 64, Faridabad. Vide another notification dated 22.5.1995 issued under Section 4 of the Act, the land of village Chandawali, was acquired for development and utilization thereof as Sector 65, Faridabad. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the acquired land of different villages 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 of different villages at different rates. Still dissatisfied with the award, the parties are in appeal before this court. Learned counsel for the landowners submitted that the issues raised in the present set of appeals are squarely covered by the judgment of this court in R.F.A. No. 2501 of 2001 – Ved Pal and others vs State of Haryana and others, decided on 3.5.2006, which was further followed in RFA No. 1507 of 2001 – Vinay Kumar Aggarwal vs State of Haryana and another, decided on 9.1.2008, whereby the compensation payable for the land was further enhanced. R. F. A No. 3802 of 2001 (2) Learned Additional Advocate General appearing for the State did not dispute the aforesaid factual position. For the detailed reasons recorded in the aforesaid judgments, the appeals filed by the State of Haryana are dismissed., whereas the appeals and cross-objections filed by the landowners are allowed in terms of the aforesaid judgments. 15.12.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
