RFA No. 2739 of 1989 (1) IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH RFA No. 2739 of 1989 (O&M) Date of decision : 14.12.2011 Rawat Singh .... Appellant vs State of Haryana and others ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: None for the appellant. Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. Through the present appeal the landowner has approached this court seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 1.8.1986 issued under Section 4 the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, sought to acquire land situated in Village Bhiwani Lohar, Tehsil and District Bhiwani, for construction of Hansi-Tosham bye-pass. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, “the Collector”) vide award dated 8.9.1986 assessed the compensation for the acquired land @ ` 8.25 per square yard for nehri/chahi, ` 7.30 per square yard for taal and ` 6.30 per square yard for the remaining land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the claimants filed objections before the learned court below. The learned Additional District Judge, while considering the material on record, assessed the market value of the acquired land at ` 35/- per square yard. It is this award, which is impugned in the present appeal. No one has appeared for the landowner at the time of hearing. RFA No. 2739 of 1989 (2) Learned counsel for the State very fairly conceded that the issue involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 2657 of 1989- Dilbag Singh vs State of Haryana, decided on 18.3.2008, whereby the compensation payable to the landowners was further enhanced to ` 80/- per square yard. Accordingly, for the reasons recorded in the aforesaid case, the present appeal is disposed of in the same terms. A copy of this order be sent to the appellant by the registry of this court as no one has appeared for the appellant. 14.12.2011 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
