Notification under Section 6 of the Act was issued on 23.01.2004. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short “the Collector”) vide award dated 20.01.2006, assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 12,50,000/- 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 @ ` 20,00,000/- per acre.

State of Haryana and others decided on 09.12.2010, whereby the compensation assessed by the learned court below on account of acquisition of land was upheld. RFA No.3835 of 2010 2 For the reasons recorded in Raghunath’s case (supra), the present appeal is dismissed. Consequently, the application for condonation of delay is also dismissed.
