Learned counsel for the appellants/landowners very fairly submitted that the issue raised in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in Dilbagh's case (supra). Since the learned court below has awarded the compensation for the acquisition of land on the basis of judgment of this court in Dilbagh's case (supra), the present appeal does not survive, accordingly, the same is dismissed. 4.12.2008 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
