The landowners are in appeal before this Court against the award of the learned Court below for further enhancement of the compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 15.10.1991, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'), Chandigarh Administration acquired land in Village Burail for development of third phase of Chandigarh City. The Land Acquisition Collector determined the market value of land at Rs. 2 lacs per acre. Aggrieved against the same, the appellants filed objections which were referred to the learned Additional District Judge, Chandigarh, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, awarded compensation @ Rs. 5,50,000/- per acre for the acquired land. Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the claim made by the appellants in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in R. F. A. No. 2340 of 1998 Surjan Singh and others vs Union Territory, Chandigarh, decided on 24.9.2008, whereby value of the acquired land was determined at Rs. 9,85,000/- per acre. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent could not dispute this factual position. Accordingly for the reasons recorded in Surjan Singh's case (supra), the present appeal is allowed in the same terms. 30.1.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
