IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH R.F.A. No. 1235 of 2009 (O&M) State of Haryana and others .... Appellants vs. Chandkaur and others .... Respondents Coram : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. D. D. Gupta, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Mr. S. K. Yadav, Advocate, for the landowners. RAJESH BINDAL, J The State of Haryana has filed the present appeal seeking reduction of compensation awarded to the landowners. Briefly the facts are that vide notification dated 20.4.2000 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act') the State of Haryana acquired land situated within the revenue estate of village Jaitpur Shekhpur, Tehsil and District Rewari for construction of Pataudi Distributory. The same was followed by notification dated 20.7.2000 issued under Section 6 of the Act. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, 'the Collector') vide award dated 4.6.2002 assessed the market value of acquired land @ ` 1,25,000/- per acre for chahi, ` 1,05,000/- per acre for barani, ` 85,000/- per acre for banjar kadim and ` 1,29,440/- per acre for gair mumkin kinds of land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 3,20,000/- per acre. Aggrieved against the award of learned Court below, the State of Haryana is in appeal before this Court. Learned counsel for the parties submitted that the issues involved in the present appeal are squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 3804 of 2007- State of Haryana and others vs Gajraj Singh and another decided on 24.9.2010, whereby the amount of compensation payable to the landowners for the acquired land was further enhanced to ` 9,00,000/- per acre. Since this court had further enhanced the compensation payable to the landowners, the present appeal filed by the State does not survive. Accordingly, for the reasons recorded in Gajraj Singh's case (supra), the present appeal is dismissed. 12 .1.2011. (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
