The landowner has filed the aforesaid appeal against the apportionment of the compensation awarded for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 21.3.1991 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short 'the Act') acquired land situated within the area of Hadbast No. 146, Tehsil and District Hisar, for development and utilization thereof as residential sector 16 and parts of Sectors 11, 13, 15 and 17 of Hisar. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the compensation vide his award dated 16.3.1994. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the objections were filed. On reference, the learned Court below apportioned the compensation @ 1/3rd and 2/3rd between tenant and the landowner, respectively. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. No one has appeared for the appellant. Learned counsel for the respondent submitted that the issue regarding percentage of compensation to be shared by the tenant and the owner has already been dealt with by this court in RFA No. 3300 of 1993 – Mandir Narsingh Puri, Hisar vs Chandu and others decided on 31.1.2007 and apportionment of 1/3rd and 2/3rd between tenant and the owner unde similar circumstances, has been upheld. As the issue raised in the present appeal has already been decided by this court in the aforesaid judgment, prima facie, I find no merit in the appeal. However, as no one has appeared for the appellant, this court had no other option but to dismiss the appeal in default. Ordered accordingly. 24.12.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs Judge
