In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh R. F. A No. 2297 of 1993 (O&M) State of Haryana ... Appellant vs Shamsher Singh .... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. The State has filed the present appeal seeking reduction of compensation for the acquisition of land. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 4.3.1983, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Haryana acquired land for development and utilisation thereof as residential and commercial area in Sector-8 at Ambala. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value at Rs. 40,000/- per acre for chahi, Rs. 32,000/- per acre for barani and Rs. 16,000/- per acre for gair mumkin kind of land. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners/claimants filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below determined the market value of the acquired land at Rs. 100/- per square yard. Learned State counsel very fairly conceded that in view of judgment of this court in Satish Kumar vs State of Haryana, 1994 (3) PLR 243, whereby the compensation payable for acquisition of land vide same notification was further enhanced to Rs. 112/- per square yard, the claim made in the present appeal seeking reduction of compensation from Rs. 100/- per square yard, as awarded by the learned court below was not survived. Accordingly, for the detailed reasons recorded in Satish Kumar's case (supra), the present appeal is dismissed. 15.01.2010 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
