Gupta, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. This order shall dispose of the aforesaid appeals, as the same arise out of common acquisition. The landowners have filed the aforesaid appeals before this court against the award of the learned court below passed under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act') seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. The facts have been extracted from RFA No. 1102 of 1996. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 15.12.1982 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired the land within the revenue estates of Villages Taraf Afgan, Hadbast No. 17, Tehsil and District Panipat, for development and utilisation thereof as residential, commercial and Industrial area Sector 25 (Part-II), in Urban Estate, Panipat. The Land RFA No. 1102 of 1996 -2- Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of different kinds of land at different rates. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 72/- per square yard. Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the claim made by the appellants in the present appeal is squarely covered by a Division Bench judgment of this court reported in Jogi Ram and others vs State of Haryana 1997 (2) P.L.R. 303, whereby the compensation payable to the landowners was further enhanced to ` 80/- per square yard. Learned Additional Advocate General, Haryana, did not dispute this factual position. For the detailed reasons recorded in Jogi Ram's case (supra), the present appeals are allowed in the same terms. 27.7.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
