In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh RFA No. 3712 of 1992 (O&M) Moti Ram ..... Appellant vs State of Haryana and another ... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. M. S. Kohli, Advocate, for the appellant. Mr. Ashish Gupta, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. Rajesh Bindal J. By filing the present appeal, the landowner is seeking further enhancement of compensation for the acquired land. Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 6/7.4.1983, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Haryana acquired 13 kanals 12 marlas of land situated within the revenue estate village Kalayat, District Kaithal, for construction of a warehouse. The Land Acquisition Collector vide award dated 7.3.1984 assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 70,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners/claimants filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below vide award dated 12.10.1992, dismissed the same. It is this award which is challenged in the present appeal. A perusal of the impugned award shows that inspite of grant of numerous opportunities, no evidence was led by both the parties and the court below closed their evidence vide order dated 27.10.1989. Thereafter, the reference was dismissed and the award of the Collector was upheld. Once there was no evidence produced on record by the landowners to justify their claim that the award of the Collector was not just and fair, I do not find any illegality has committed by the court below in dismissing the references. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. 13.9.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
