RFA No. 1136 of 1992 1 IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH RFA No. 1136 of 1992 (O&M) Date of Decision: 10.05.2011 Vidya Kaur and others ...Appellants Versus The State of Punjab ..Respondent CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. G.S. Jaswal, Advocate for the landowners. Mr. Yatinder Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ..... RAJESH BINDAL, J. Challenge in the present appeal is to the award dated 12.06.1989 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Patiala. The landowners are in appeal seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts of the case are that State Government vide notification dated 28.11.1985, published on 27.12.1985, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), sought to acquire the land situated in revenue estate of village Pilkhani and Rajpura for construction of Patiala Rajpura bye-pass at Rajpura. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, “the Collector”) vide his award dated 24.12.1987 assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 20,000/- per acre for the land in village Pilkhani and ` 1,30,000/- per acre for the land falling in the revenue estate of Rajpura. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of Act, the learned court below upheld the award of the Collector. It is this award, which is impugned before this court. Learned counsel for the parties very fairly submitted that the claim made in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 2060 of 1989 titled as Kala Singh and another Vs. The State of Punjab and another decided on 2.2.2011. For the detailed reasons recorded in Kala Singh’s case (supra), the present appeal is disposed of in the same terms.
