In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 3478 of 1993 (O&M) Union of India ... Appellant vs Baru Ram and another ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Brijeshwar Singh Kanwar, Advocate, for UOI. Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. Union of India is in appeal before this Court against the award passed by learned court below seeking reduction in the amount of compensation awarded to the respondents on account of acquisition of superstructure. Briefly, the facts are that State of Punjab vide notification dated 11.7.1977 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') acquired superstructure along with land situated in the revenue estate of Village Kathania, Tehsil and District Amritsar. The Land Acquisition Collector vide award dated 28.6.1983 assessed the compensation for the structure at ` 8,253.50 paise. Aggrieved against the award of the Collector, the landowner filed objections which were referred to the learned Court below for consideration, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, determined the market value of the superstructure ` 3,300/- more than the value assessed by the PWD authorities. It is this award which is challenged in the present appeal. A perusal of the paper-book shows that the amount involved in the appeal is merely ` 5,651.04 paise. Keeping in view that meager amount is involved and that the acquisition took place more than 33 years back, I do not find any reason to interfere at this stage. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. 27.8.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
