Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Ms. Ranjana Shahi and Mr. Brijeshwar Singh Kanwar, Advocates, for UOI. 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 18.6.1984 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired land measruing 3781 kanals 2 marlas situated within the revenue estate of Village Satrod Khas, Tehsil and District Hisar, for extension of Hisar Cantonment Area. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the land. Aggrieved against the same, the landowners filed objections under Section 18 of the Act which were referred to the learned Additional District Judge, Hisar, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 1,00,000/- per acre for the land falling in block-A and ` 50,000/- per acre for the land falling in block-B. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsels for the parties submitted that the claim made by the appellants in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Union of India and others vs Mangatu Ram etc. reported as AIR 1997 Supreme Court 2704, wherein the compensation payable to the landowners was determined as under:- “Accordingly, we are of the view that lands situated around 500 years from the main road should be classified RFA No. 1152 of 1989 (2) as `A` class land irrespective of the quality of the land, i.e., whether it is Nehari, Chahi, Banjar Quadium, Banjar Jadid or Gair Mumkin, the uniform rate of compensation at Rupees 1,00,000/- per acre would be granted to such lands. For the rest of the `A` Class lands, the compensation would be at Rs. 60,000/- per acre. Banjar Quadim, Banjar Jadid and Gair Mumkin lands are classified as `B` class lands and for that land, the compensation at the rate of Rs. 30,000/- per acre would be reasonable, just and adequate compensation.” Accordingly for the reasons stated in the aforesaid case, the present appeal is disposed of in terms thereof. 28.9.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
