Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. D. D. Gupta, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. ... Rajesh Bindal J. This order will dispose of R.F.A. Nos. 924, 934 to 939, 1168 to 1178 of 1990, as common questions of law and facts are involved. The facts have been extracted from R.F.A. No. 924 of 1990. Challenge in the present set of appeals filed by the State is to the award of the learned court below assessing compensation for the acquired land @ ` 30,000/- per acre. The acquisition was made for the purpose of construction of Kultana-Chhudani-Bupania drain, for which notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') was issued on 12.3.1984. The Award of the Land Acquisition Collector was in the range of ` 12,000/- to ` 20,000/- per acre. For the purpose of assessment of compensation, the learned court below has placed reliance upon a judgment of this court in R.F.A. No. 1010 of 1987—Nanda v. State of Haryana, decided on 27.7.1988, pertaining to valuation of land of village Barhana. Considering the aforesaid fact and also that the land was acquired way back in the year 1984 and the land owners have also not been R.F.A. No. 924 of 1990 [ 2] paid any compensation on account of severance, I do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned award at this stage. Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed.
