R.F.A. No. 145 of 1996 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. R.F.A. No. 145 of 1996 (O&M) Date of Decision: 26.10.2010 State of Haryana and others .... Appellants vs. Narender Singh and others .... Respondents Coram : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. None for the landowners. RAJESH BINDAL, J This order will dispose of the appeals bearing RFA Nos. 145, 617 to 622, 800, 1125, 1127 to 1131 of 1996, 3616 to 3621, 3782, 3874 to 3876 of 1998, 3949 of 2001, 114 of 2002 and 1040 of 2003, as the same arise out of common acquisition. The landowners have filed appeals seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land whereas by filing appeals the State is seeking reduction of compensation. Briefly the facts are that vide notification dated 23.1.1990 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act') State of Haryana acquired land situated in villages Dharuhera and Malpura, Tehsil and District Rewari, for the development and utilization thereof as residential and commercial area in Sector-4A Dharuhera. The Land Acquisition Collector determined the market value of the acquired land of different villages at different rates. Aggrieved against the same, the land owners/claimants filed objections which were referred to the learned Additional District Judge, Rewari, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, awarded ` 180/- per square yard upto the depth of one kila situated on Dharuhera-Sohna Road and ` 90/- per square yard for the remaining land. It is this award which is impugned in the present set of appeals by both the parties. Learned counsel for the State very fairly conceded that the issues raised in the present set of appeals are squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in RFA No. 2779 of 1994 –Shamsher Singh and others vs State of Haryana and others decided on 29.7.2009, where the compensation awarded to the landowners was determined at ` 7,04,367/- per acre. R.F.A. No. 145 of 1996 -2- Since this court had already determined compensation payable to the landowners for acquisition of land vide same notification, the present set of appeals are disposed of in terms of the aforesaid judgment. 26.10.2010.
