In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 2418 of 1991 (O&M) The State of Punjab ... Appellant vs Mukhwant Singh ..... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. The State of Punjab is in appeal appeal before this Court against the award passed by learned court below seeking reduction in the amount of compensation awarded for the superstructures. Briefly, the facts are that State of Punjab vide notification dated 15.1.1976 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, acquired land situated within the revenue estate of village Tafazalpura, District Patiala for setting up of an Urban Estate at public expenses. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') assessed the compensation for the superstructures vide award dated 25.2.1983. Aggrieved against the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections which were referred to the learned Court below for consideration, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, determined the market value of the superstructures existing on the acquired land @ ` 50,000/-. It is this award which is impugned by the State before this court. A perusal of the paper-book shows that dispute sought to be raised by the appellant in the present appeal is merely for ` 20,744/- and the acquisition having taken place more than 34 years back, I do not deem it appropriate to interfere at this stage. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. 2.8.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
