This order will dispose of three Regular First Appeal Nos. 1311, 1748 and 1749 of 1988 as the same arise out of one acquisition. However, the facts are noticed from R. F. A. No. 1131 of 1988. The appellants/claimants have approached this court for further enhancement in the compensation. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 20.8.1980, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Haryana acquired 103 acres of land in the revenue estate of Village Garhi Mundo, Hadbast no. 408, Tehsil Jagadhri, for public purpose namely for the development of residential and commercial R. F. A No. 1311 of 1988 2 establishments. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the land at Rs. 72,600/- per acre vide his award dated 12.2.1986. Dissatisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Collector, the landowners/claimants filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below vide award dated 5.5.1988, assessed the market value of the land at Rs. 79,860/- per acre. Learned counsel for the appellants/claimants submitted that the claim made by the appellants in the present appeals is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in Birinder Singh and others vs State of Haryana 1990 PLJ 90, whereby the compensation payable for acquisition of land was assessed at Rs. 96,000/- per acre. Learned Advocate General appearing for the State did not dispute the fact that the claim made by the appellants in the present case is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in Birinder Singh's case (supra). For the detailed reasons recorded in Birinder Singh's case (supra), the appeals are allowed in terms of Birinder Singh's case (supra). 11.9.2008 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
