The landowners have filed the aforesaid appeals seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that vide another notification dated 16.8.2002, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'), the Government of Haryana acquired 37.13 acres of land situated in village Sitawali Hadbast No. 115, Tehsil and District Sonepat for construction of Career Lined Channel. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 2,00,000/-. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below assessed the market value @ ` 3,20,000/- per acre for the land abutting the village abadi and for the remaining land, it upheld the award of the Collector. Aggrieved against the award of learned Court below, the landowners are before this Court. Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the issues raised in the present appeals are squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 2815 of 2008 – Prem and others vs The State of Haryana and others decided on 27.4.2009, whereby the compensation payable to the landowners for the acquired land was further enhanced. Learned State counsel did not dispute the aforesaid factual position. Accordingly, for the reasons recorded in the aforesaid judgments, the appeals are disposed of in the same terms. 21.12.2010.
