In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 867 of 1991 (O&M) The Land Acquisition Collector and another ... Appellants vs Balbir Singh ..... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. The State of Punjab is in appeal before this Court against the award passed by learned court below seeking reduction in the amount of compensation awarded to the respondent on account of acquisition of land. Briefly, the facts are that the land in question situated in the revenue estate of Village Kharota, Tehsil and District Ropar, was acquired vide notification dated 13.12.1982 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, “the Collector”) assessed the value of the land @ ` 6,700/- per acre for barani and ` 6,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land. Aggrieved against the award of the Collector, the respondent filed objections which were referred to the learned Court below for consideration, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, awarded compensation of ` 25,000/- per acre for barani and ` 16,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land. The enhancement of compensation has been challenged by the State of Punjab before this court. A perusal of the paper-book shows that the amount involved in the appeal is merely ` 3,250/- and the acquisition having taken place more than 28 years back, I do not find any reason to interfere therein at this stage. Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed. 2.8.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
