In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A No. 1834 of 2010 (O&M) Gram Panchayat of Village Dhatrath ..... Appellant vs State of Haryana and another ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. S. N. Pillania, Advocate, for the applicant-appellant. Rajesh Bindal J. Gram Panchayat of Village Dhatrath has filed the present appeal 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. Along with the appeal applications for condonation of delay in refiling and filing of appeal have also been filed. Briefly, the facts of the case are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 17.12.2002 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired the land situated in revenue estate of Village Dathrath, Tehsil Safidon, District Jind, for construction of Dhathrath to Alewa Road. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the land at ` 5 lacs per acre. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land at ` 7 lacs per acre. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel very fairly conceded that the claim made in the appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 2840 of 2008 State of Haryana and another Versus Subhash Chand and others, decided on 14.5.2010, whereby award of the Reference Court was upheld. The amount of compensation assessed in the present case is also in the same terms. Accordingly, the claim made in the appeal does not survive. For the reasons recorded in the aforesaid judgment, the present appeal is dismissed. Since the main appeal has been dismissed on merits, the applications filed for condonation of delay in refiling and filing of appeal are also dismissed. 26.7.2010. ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
