The landowners are in the appeal seeking enhancement of compensation on account of acquisition of land. Brief facts of the case are that State Government vide notification dated 12.11.1992, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 (for short “the Act”), sought to acquire land situated in the revenue estate of village Sohana, for public purpose i.e. for setting up of residential urban estate. Notification under Section 6 of the Act was issued on 21.07.1993. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short “the Collector”) assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 1,75,000/- per acre. The landowners feeling dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, filed reference under Section 18 of the Act. The learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 6,25,000/- per acre. Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the claim made in the appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in case of Kapoor Singh Vs. The State of Punjab and another, RFA No.2348 of 1998 decided on 28.01.2010. The aforesaid fact is not disputed by the learned counsel for the respondents. For the reasons mentioned in Kapoor Singh’s case (supra), the present appeal is disposed in the same terms. RFA No.3198 of 2009 2 (RAJESH BINDAL) JUDGE 14.02.2011 sharmila
