Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal. Present: Ms. Ekta Thakur, Advocate, for the appellant. None for the respondent. Rajesh Bindal, J. The aforesaid appeal has been filed by the landowner seeking further enhancement of compensation on account of acquisition of land. Briefly, the facts are that the land in question, situated in village Manimajra, U. T. Chandigarh was acquired vide notification dated 21.3.1977 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') for the canalisation of Sukhna Choe. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of banjar kadim kind of land @ 5,345/- per acre. Aggrieved against the award of the Collector, the land owners filed objections which were referred to the learned District Judge, who keeping in view the earlier award, Ex. R-1, determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 15,000/- per acre. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. No one has appeared for the Union Territory, Chandigarh. A perusal of the impugned award shows that the court below had determined the market value of the land on the basis of earlier award dated, Ex. R- 1, vide which the market value of the land acquired vide same notification for the same very purpose was assessed. It has also been noticed in the award of the court below that some of the landowners had challenged the award of the court below in this court by filing RFA No. 970 of 1976 titled as Iqbal Singh and another vs Union of India decided on 20.5.1989, wherein the market value of the acquired land was determined at ` 15,000/- per acre. As the award of the court below is in conformity with the judgment of this court in Iqbal Singh's case (supra), no case for interference made out. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. 31.8.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
