Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Munish. Gupta, Advocate, for the appellants. Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. The landowners have filed the present appeal seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 5.4.1988 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, “the Act”), the State of Punjab acquired land situated within the revenue estate of village Bhajauli, Hadbast No. 92, Tehsil Kharar, District Ropar for construction of Mandouli Middle Distributory. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') vide award dated 29.8.1989 assessed the compensation for the acquired land @ ` 65,000/- per acre for chahi, ` 52,000/- per acre for barani and ` 37,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kinds of land. Aggrieved against the award of the Collector, the land owners filed objections under Section 18 of the Act. On reference, the learned court below, vide award dated 10.3.1993, on the basis of agreement dated 27.6.1986 between the Chief Minister, Punjab and the landowners, determined the market value of the acquired land, which is of barani kind, @ ` 80,000/- per acre. It is this award of the learned Reference Court which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel for the parties fairly submitted that the claim of the appellants in the present appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 2450 of 1993 Jit Singh (deceased) through Lrs and another vs State of Punjab and another, decided on 8.9.2010, whereby the award of the learned court below determining the market value of land acquired vide notification dated 5.4.1988, was upheld. Accordingly, for the reasons recorded in Jit Singh's case (supra), the present appeal is dismissed. 30.9.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
