Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Ekta Thakur, Advocate, for the appellant. Mr. Sanjay Kaushal, Senior Standing Counsel for Union Territory, Chandigarh. Rajesh Bindal J. The landowner is in appeal before this court against the award of the learned court below seeking enhancement of compensation awarded for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that the land in Village Jhumru, Chandigarh, was acquired vide notification issued under Section 4 of the Act on 11.10.1991 for public purpose namely for the development of 3rd phase of Chandigarh. The award was passed by the Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') determining the value of the land @ ` 1,90,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference, vide judgment dated 31.1.2001, the learned court while relying upon judgment of this court in RFA No. 2169 of 1998- Sukhpal Singh and others vs Union Territory, Chandigarh, decided on 7.10.1999, assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 5,50,000/- per acre. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsels for the parties are agreed that the claim of the appellants in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 2326 of 1998 Som Nath and others vs Union Territory, Chandigarh, decided on 3.9.2008, whereby value of the land acquired vide same notification was further enhanced to ` 9,85,000/- per acre. Accordingly, for the reasons recorded in Som Nath's case (supra), the appeal is disposed of in the same terms. 17.11.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
