IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH R.F.A. No. 171 of 1989 (O&M) Date of decision: 8.12.2011 State of Haryana .. Appellant Vs. Jagbeer Singh and another .. Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana ... Rajesh Bindal J. The State is in appeal against the award of the court below challenging the same only on the ground that benefits of the amended provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') have been wrongly awarded to the claimants as the award of the Land Acquisition Collector in the present case was announced much prior to the amendment in the Act w.e.f. 30.4.1982. A perusal of the paper book shows that the amount involved in the present appeal is merely ` 8,630.85. Considering the smallness of amount involved in the appeal and the fact that notification under Section 4 of the Act was issued on 9.10.1973, I do not find it appropriate to interfere with the impugned award. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the controversy, the appeal is dismissed only on account of smallness of amount. ( Rajesh Bindal ) Judge 8.12.2011 mk
