This order will dispose of two appeals bearing RFA Nos. 1865 and 1866 of 1991, as the same arise out of a common award. The land owners are in appeal before this Court against the award of the learned court below seeking further enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that land situated within the revenue estate of Village Mewla Maharajpur, Tehsil Ballabgarh, District Faridabad was acquired vide notification dated 4.11.1977 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') for development and utilisation as residential area in Sector 31, Faridadbad. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') assessed the value of the land at ` 80,000/- per acre. Aggrieved against the same, the land owners filed objections which were referred to the learned District Judge, Faridabad, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, assessed the market value @ ` 22/- per square yard. It is this award which is impugned by the landowners before this court. RFA No. 1865 of 1991 (2) A perusal of impugned award shows that the learned court below had determined the market value of the acquired land on the basis of earlier award, Ex. P-1, vide which value of the land of villages Etmadpur and Mewla Maharajpur acquired vide same notification and for the same very purpose, was assessed. This court in RFA No. 2152 of 1990 Kartar Singh (deceased) through LRs vs State of Haryana, decided on 4.12.2008, determined the value of the land of village Etmadpur acquired vide notification dated 4.11.1977 and for the same very purpose @ ` 50/- per square yard. It is admitted by learned counsel for the State that the land in the present case was also acquired vide notification dated 4.11.1977 and for the same very purpose and further that the basis of determination of value in both the villages is the same. The landowners in the present set of appeals deserve same amount of compensation for the acquired land. Accordingly, the value of the acquired land in the present set of appeals is determined @ ` 50/- per square yard. They shall also be entitled to all statuary benefits available under the Act. The appeals stand disposed of. 9.3.2011 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
