In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A No. 3654 of 2007 (O&M) State of Punjab ... Appellant vs Pundreek Kumar .... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: None. Rajesh Bindal J. The State has approached this Court through the present appeal for reduction in the compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 21.2.2000, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, (for short, 'the Act'), State of Punjab acquired land situated in village Sohana, for development as Sector 76 to 80 in the Urban Estate of SAS Nagar (Mohali). The Land acquisition Collector determined the market value of the acquired land at different rates for the land situated at different places. The Learned Additional District Judge, on reference under Section 18 of the Act, assessed the market value of the entire land at a flat rate of Rs. 17,00,000/- per acre. The issue involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in RFA No. 3004 of 2006 Surjit Singh Vs. State of Punjab and another, decided on 2.3.2009, whereby the compensation payable for acquisition of land vide same notification has been further enhanced. Resultantly, even the claim made in the present appeal does not survive. As the counsel for the appellant has not complied with the earlier order vide which he was directed to furnish correct address of the respondent and that the issue involved in the present appeal has already been dealt with by this court in Surjit Singh's case (supra), I deem it appropriate to dismiss the same in default. Ordered accordingly. 28.4.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
