All the above appeals are being disposed of by this common order recorded in RFA No. 1483 of 1996 as they have arisen out of the same notification and award given by the Collector as well as reference Court. In brief, the facts of the case are that land measuring 61.04 acres in Karnal was acquired under Section 4 (1) of the Land Acquisition Act,1894 (for short,the Act) for public purpose, namely for development of residential and commercial area in Sectors 12-II, Part -II Karnal. The land was bifurcated into two parts namely plain land which was assessed @ Rs.2,75,000/-per acre and land under Mugal Canal @ Rs.1,87,968/- per acre. On reference, the learned Addl. District Judge, Karnal, enhanced the compensation at a uniform rate of Rs. 76/- per square yard. Aggrieved against the same, the State of Haryana as well as the landowners filed appeals, out of which RFA No. 2504 of 1994 filed by Ram Gopal (deceased) through his LRs and others Vs. State of Haryana and another and 27 others came up for hearing before this Court which were disposed of vide order dated 5.11.2008 in which compensation was further enhanced to Rs.89/- per square yard. As a matter of fact, the present appeals filed by the landowners/claimants is squarely covered by the aforesaid decision of this Court rendered in RFA No. 2504 of 1994 (Ram Gopal (deceased) through his LRs and others Vs. State of Haryana and another). Insofar as the appeal filed by the State is concerned, no meaningful argument has been raised by the learned counsel for the appellant in order to persuade this Court to take a view different from the one taken by the reference Court or has pointed out any evidence which has not been considered by the Court while disposing of aforesaid RFA No.2504 of 1994 decided on 5.11.2008. In view of the above, present appeals i.e. RFA Nos.1483 of 1996 and 674 of 1997 filed by the landowners/claimants are allowed in terms of the order passed in RFA No. 2504 of 1994 (Ram Gopal (deceased) through his LRs and others Vs. State of Haryana and another) and RFA No.2228 of 2004 filed by the State of Haryana is dismissed though without any order as to costs. 25.8.2010 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
