In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A No. 1499 of 2005 (O&M) Union Territory Chandigarh ..... Appellant vs Dalbir Singh ..... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: None. Rajesh Bindal J. The Union Territory, Chandigarh is 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 reduction in compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that Union Territory, Chandigarh vide notification dated 3.8.1999 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired the land situated in revenue estate of Village Kajheri, U.T Chandigarh, for development of third phase of Chandigarh. The Land Acquisition Collector awarded compensation @ Rs. 11,95,198/- per acre. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land @ Rs. 15,05,000/-. The office has reported on the paper book that the claim made by the appellant in the present appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in RFA No. 4238 of 2006 Mrs. Avtar Sachdev and others vs Union Territory, Chandigarh, decided on 2.4.2009. The paper book has been perused. It is found that for the land acquired vide same notification, this court had further enhanced the compensation. In view of this fact, the claim made by the appellant for reduction in compensation already granted by the learned reference court does not survive. However, as no one has appeared for the appellant, the present appeal is dismissed for non- prosecution. 21.1.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
