The landowner is 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 Punjab vide notification dated 30.3.1988 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired the land situated within the revenue estate of Village Kadi Majra, Hadbast No. 151, Tehsil Kharar, District Ropar, for construction of High Level Distributory. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the fair value of the land at Rs. 65,000/- per acre for chahi and Rs. 36,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below, assessed the market value of the land @ Rs. 1 lac per acre for chahi and Rs. 60,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land. Learned counsel for the appellant fairly submitted that the claim made in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 2456 of 1993 Jaswant Singh vs State of Punjab and another decided on 13.1.2009, whereby the compensation as awarded by the learned Reference Court was upheld. Learned Assistant Advocate General does not dispute this factual position. For the detailed reasons recorded in Jaswant Singh's case (supra), the appeal is dismissed. 7.5.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
