Appellants vs State of Haryana and another .... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Praveen Bhadu, Advocate, for the appellants. Mr. D. D. Gupta, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. This order will dispose of appeals bearing RFA Nos. 2813, 5495 and 5684 of 2008 filed by the landowners 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. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 9.5.2000, issued under Section 4 of the Act, sought to acquire land falling in the revenue estates of villages Tarkanwali Hadbast No. 11, Nathusari Khurd, Nathusari Kalan, Darba Kalan, Manak Diwan, Rupana, Randhawa, Nirban, Bakrianwali, Gudia Khera, Modia Khera, Liwalwali, Madhosinghana, Mangala and Ottu, District Sirsa for construction of Darba Ghaggar Drain, which was passing through these villages. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, 'the Collector') assessed the market value of the acquired land of different villages at different rates. The land owners feeling dissatisfied with the award of the Collector filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below assessed the compensation of the acquired land of different villages at different rates. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeals by the landowners. R. F. A. No. 2813 of 2008 (2) Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the issues raised in the present set of appeals are squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in RFA No. 3733 of 2007 – Subhash Chand alias Subhash Chander vs State of Haryana and another decided on 14.1.2010. Learned State counsel did not dispute the aforesaid factual position. Accordingly, for the reasons recorded in Subhash Chand's case (supra), the present appeals are disposed of in the same terms. The parties through their counsels are directed to appear before learned District Judge, Sirsa on 5.3.2011 for further proceedings. It would be appropriate if District Judge clubs the cases with the cases remitted earlier. 4.2.2011 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
