This order will dispose of a bunch of appeals bearing RFA Nos.168, 169, 1857, 2302, 2686, 3063 of 1992, 978 of 1993 and 2241 of 1995, arising out of common acquisition. The landowners have filed these appeals seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land.
The facts have been extracted from RFA No. 168 of 1992.
Briefly, the facts are that the State of Haryana vide notification dated 20.4.1987 issued under Section 4 of the Act, acquired land situated within the revenue estates of Village Badkhal, Tehsil Ballabgarh, District Faridabad, for development and utilisation thereof as institutional, Sector-48, Faridabad. The Land Acquisition Collector assessed the market value of the land @ 3,50,000/per acre. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below, determined the market value of the acquired land @ 90/- per square yard. It is this award which is impugned in the present set of appeals.
Learned counsel for the parties fairly submitted that the issues raised in the present set of appeals are squarely covered by the judgment of this court in RFA No. 1015 of 2002 – Chet Ram and others vs State of Haryana , decided on 16.3.2010, whereby the amount of compensation for the acquired land was further enhanced to Rs. 200/- per square yard.
For the detailed reasons recorded in the aforesaid judgment, the appeals are disposed of in the same terms.
