IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. RFA No.1875 of 2007 (O&M) Date of Decision: 30.10.2008. State of Haryana and another ....Appellants Versus Suraj and others ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr.Navneet Singh, AAG Haryana. Ms.Naina Goel, Advocate for respondents. RAJESH BINDAL, J. The State is in appeal before this Court against the award dated 31.7.2006 passed by learned Additional District Judge, Faridabad for reduction of the compensation awarded to the land owners. Briefly, the facts are that land measuring 184.27 acres situated in village Jharsantly was acquired vide notification dated 8.5.1995 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short `the Act) for the development and utilization of land transport communication and commercial, residential and institutional Sector-61 Faridabad. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') gave award of Rs. 14,04,73,059-60 for the acquired land. Aggrieved against the same, the land owners filed objections which were referred to the learned Additional District Judge, Faridabad, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, determined the value of the land at Rs.400/- per square yard. Learned Advocate General very fairly submits that the claim made by the State in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in RFA No.2501 of 2001 Ved Pal Vs. State of Haryana decided on 3.5.2006, where the compensation payable on account of acquisition of land was further enhanced by this Court. For the reason stated in Ved Pal's case (supra), the present appeal does not survive and accordingly the same is dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 30.10.2008. JUDGE Reema
