Respondents RFA No. 534 of 2008 7 CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. M.K. Chauhan, Mr. S.R. Hooda, Mr. G.S. Dhaliwal, Advocates for the land owners. Mr. Ashish Gupta, AAG Haryana. Mr. Sheenu Sura, Advocate for HUDA. RAJESH BINDAL, J **** This order will dispose of the bunch of appeals filed by the State and the landowners impugning the judgment of the learned Court below assessing the compensation on account of acquisition of land. Brief facts are that the State of Haryana acquired 482.17 acres of land pertaining to villages Saketri, Hadbast No. 376, and Bhainsa Tibba, Hadbast No. 377 Tehsil and District Panchkula, vide notification dated 16.3.1999 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short 'the Act'). The aforesaid notification was followed by notification dated 15.3.2000 issued under Section 6 of the Act. The land in question was acquired for public purposes namely for development and utilization of land as residential, commercial, institutional, recreational in Sector 1, 2, 3, 5B, 5C and 6 for Panchkula extension Mansa Devi Complex in Urban Estate, Panchkula. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short 'the Collector') assessed the compensation of the acquired land at different rates. The land owners being not satisfied with the award filed objections which were referred to the learned Court below. Considering the material brought on record by the parties, learned Court below vide order dated 4.2.2008 assessed the compensation of the acquired land at the flat rate of Rs. 418/- per square yard. The learned counsel for both the parties are agreed that the issues raised in the present set of appeals are squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in R.F.A. No. 3008 of 2008 Smt. Poonam Vs. State of Haryana and another, decided on 25.2.2009 wherein while setting aside the impugned order the matter has been remanded back for fresh consideration. For the reasons stated in Smt. Poonam case (supra) the present appeals are disposed of in the same terms. The parties are directed to appear before learned District Judge, Panchkula, on May 15, 2010 for further proceedings. Learned District Judge is directed to entrust the cases in question to the same Court to which the earlier remanded matter have been entrusted, so as to avoid any delay in disposal of the cases.
