In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh Civil Misc. Nos. 4668-69/CI of 2008 and R. F. A. No. 2241 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision : 7.11.2008 Haryana State through Collector, Faridabad ..... Appellant vs Ram Chand and others ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Navneet Singh, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. C.M. No. 4668/C-I/2008. For the reasons stated in the application, delay of 73 days in refiling the appeal is condoned. Civil misc. stands disposed. R. F. A. No. 2241/2008 and C.M. No. 4669/C-I/2008. The State has filed the present appeal against the award dated 21.3.2007 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Faridabad. Along with the present appeal, an application for condonation of delay of 201 days in filing the appeal has also been filed. Briefly, the facts are that land situated in the revenue estate of Village Chandwali (Faridabad), measuring 194.51 acres was acquired vide Notification dated 6.5.1998, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, by the State of Haryana for development and utilisation as institutional, residential and commercial area for Sector-65, Faridabad. The Land Acquisition Collector awarded total amount of Rs. 12,87,32,226/- as compensation for the acquisition of land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners/claimants filed objections. The learned Additional District Judge, on reference under Section 18 of the Act, enhanced the compensation @ of Rs. 450/- per square yard, relying on judgment of this court in R. F. A. No. 2501 of 2001- Ved Pal and others vs State of Haryana and others, decided on 3.5.2006. As the learned court below has merely relied upon the judgment of this court in Ved Pal's case (supra) while awarding compensation to the landowners, the claim made by the State in the present appeal does not survive. Accordingly, the present appeal as well as the application for condonation of delay in filing the appeal, are dismissed. 7.11.2008 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
