In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 2797 of 1987 (O&M) Union Territory, Chandigarh ..... Appellant vs Telu Singh ..... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mrs. Uma Gupta, Advocate, for the appellant. Rajesh Bindal J. This order will dispose of appeals bearing RFA Nos. 2797 to 2799 of 1987 as the same arise out of common acquisition. Union Territory of Chandigarh has filed the present appeals against the award of the learned court below seeking reduction of compensation for the acquired land. The facts have been extracted from RFA No. 2797 of 1987. Briefly, the facts are that land measuring 13 marlas situated in revenue estate of Village Taraf Kumbra, Hadbast No. 5, Tehsil Kharar, District Ropar, was acquired by the Chandigarh Administration vide notification dated 9.12.1980 under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, for construction of out fall Sewerage System of Chandigarh City. The Land Acquisition Collector vide award dated 29.4.1985 assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 30,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference, the District Judge, Chandigarh, on the basis of material placed on record by the parties, determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 58,000/- per acre. It is this award which is impugned in the present set of appeals. A perusal of the impugned award shows that the land acquired in the present set of appeals is just 13 marlas. Moreover, the possession of the land was taken in the year 1960 by the Chandigarh Administration. The dispute sought to be raised by the appellant in the present set of appeals is for meager amount i.e. in all the three appeals the same is ` 14,175/-. Keeping in view the smallness of amount and the acquisition having taken place more than 30 years back, I do not find any reason to interfere at this stage. Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed. 15.9.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
