Rajesh Bindal J. The landowners have filed the present appeal seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land, the trees and superstructures existing thereon. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 13.3.1981, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Haryana acquired land, situated in Karnal, for development and utilisation thereof as residential and commercial area for Urban Estate Karnal. The Land Acquisition Collector vide his award dated 23.9.1986 assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 80,000/- per acre for chahi and ` 50,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land. The value of the non-fruit bearing trees was assessed at ` 1,493.88 paise and ` 12,311.15 paise for fruit bearing tress. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners/claimants filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 33/- per square yard and ` 27,200/- for the fruit/non-fruit bearing trees. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the issue sought to be raised in the present appeal regarding valuation of land is squarely covered by the judgment of this court reported as Dr. Rajwant Singh (died) through LRs vs State of Haryana, 2008 (2) RCR (Civil) 780, whereby the compensation payable for acquisition of land was further enhanced. No other point was raised. Learned counsel for the State very fairly conceded that the issue involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by the aforesaid judgment. For the detailed reasons recorded in Dr. Rajwant Singh's case (supra), the appeal regarding determination of fair value of the acquired land is disposed of in the same terms. 27.8.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
