Dissatisfied with the award of the Land Acquisition Collector, the landowner/claimant filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned Court below vide award dated 24.4.2008, determined the market value of the acquire land at Rs. 450/- Per square yard. Learned counsel for the State very fairly submitted that the learned Court below has determined the fair value of the acquired land following an earlier judgment of this Court in RFA No. 2501 of 2001 decided on May 3, 2006 titled Ved Pal and others Vs. State of Haryana and others. As the impugned award is in conformity of earlier judgment of this Court in Ved Pal's case (supra), the claim made in the present appeal does not survive and the same is dismissed. Consequently, application for condonation of delay is also dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 19.5.2009 JUDGE Reema
