In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 682 of 1992 (O&M) Jug Lal and others ..... Appellants vs State of Haryana and another ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Pritam Saini, Advocate, for the appellant. Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. The landowners are in appeal 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 6.2.1980 issued under Section 4 of the Act and published on 9.2.1980 acquired the land situated within the revenue estate of Village Khaira, Hadbast No. 345, Tehsil Thanesar, District Kurukshetra, for construction of S. K. Road to village Bargat. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the different kinds of land at different rates. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land on the basis of earlier award dated 22.8.1991 of adjoining village Bargat, @ ` 48,000/- per acre. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. A perusal of the award of the learned court below shows that market value of the acquired land was assessed on the basis of earlier award dated 22.8.1991, vide which the market value of land acquired vide same notification for the same very purpose was determined @ ` 48,000/-. The appeal filed against the award dated 22.8.1991 was dismissed by this court on 21.10.2008 vide judgment passed in RFA No. 1347 of 1992 - Gram Panchayat, Bargat vs State of Haryana and the award of the learned Reference court was upheld. As the award on the basis of market value was determined in the present case has been upheld, the present appeal filed by the landowners does not survive. There is no other independent evidence on the record which could be considered for valuation of acquired land. In view of the above, the present appeal stands dismissed. 13.8.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
