IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RFA No. 1168 of 1988 (O&M) Date of Decision: 9.4.2010 The State of Punjab and another ....Appellants Versus Pritam Singh (deceased) through LRs ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. Navdeep Sukhna, AAG Punjab. RAJESH BINDAL, J **** The State is in appeal impugning the award of learned Court below whereby benefit under Section 23(1-A) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 has been granted to the land owners inspite of the fact that award of the Collector was announced on October 14, 1981. Otherwise, as far as merits of the case regarding determination of amount of compensation for the acquired land is concerned, it is not in dispute that the same is in conformity to the judgment of this Court. A perusal of paper book shows that the amount involved in the present appeal is merely Rs. 10,555/-. Considering the fact that the acquisition in the present case was made way back on February 24, 1981 and even the respondent-land owner had also expired and his LRs had been brought on record, without going into the merits of the controversy at this stage, the present appeal is dismissed merely on account of smallness of amount involved. Dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 9.4.2010 JUDGE Reema
