Learned Single Judge of this Court has relied upon the sale deed dated 23.2.1971 (Ex.P2) pertaining to a plot measuring 272 sq.yd with sale consideration @ Rs.33/- per square yard. It was LPA No. 188 of 2009 [2] found that the said sale deed was executed more than a year prior to notification dated 18.7.1972 under Section 36 of Punjab Town Improvement Act, 1922 and that land acquired is 890 feet away from the land conveyed by the aforesaid sale deed. It has been further noticed that by the time, the land was acquired, Circular Road has become hub of modern commercial activity and the land is fully developed. The sale instance (Ex.P2) and the land acquired is situated on the Circular Road. The reason given by the learned Single Judge cannot be said to be incorrect, in any manner. The learned Single Judge has applied 40% cut in view of sale being of small area. The location of acquired land is not different from the land conveyed by the sale deed Ex. P-2. In view thereof, we do not finddd any error of jurisdiction in the order passed which may warrant any interference in the appeal. Dismissed.
