The landowner is in appeal before this Court against the award of the learned Court below seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that the land pertaining to villages Jhumru, Hadbast No. 261, and Burail, Hadbast No. 222 (Chandigarh), was acquired vide notification dated 2.3.2001 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, the Act), for construction of Chandigarh- Ludhiana Broad Gauge Railway Line. Notification under Section 6 of the Act was issued on 5.3.2001. The award was passed by the Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector') on 28.2.2002, assessing compensation @ ` 5,36,427/- per acre for the acquired land of village Jhumru and ` 4,11,600/- per acre for the acquired land of village Burail. Aggrieved against the award of the Collector, the landowner filed objections which were referred to the learned Court below, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 17,46,000/- per acre. It is this award which is impugned by the landowner in the present appeal. RFA No. 453 of 2009 (2) Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the issue raised in the present appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 2400 of 2005 – Dharambir Singh and others vs Union of India, through the Land Acquisition Collector, decided on 4.5.2009, whereby the amount of compensation for the land acquired vide same notification was further enhanced to ` 22,51,600/- per acre.
