The landowner has filed the present appeal seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land.
Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 5.7.1982, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Haryana acquired land situated in Hadbast No. 1 Karnal, for development and utilisation thereof as residential and commercial area in Sector-8, Karnal. The Land Acquisition Collector vide award dated 17.8.1984 assessed the market value of the acquired land @ 86,000/- 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 determined the market value of the acquired land @ 41/- per square yard. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeal.
Learned State counsel very fairly conceded that the issue involved in the present appeal is squarely covered by judgment of this court in Dr. Rajwant Singh (died) through LRs vs State of Haryana, reported as 2008 (2) RCR (Civil) 780, whereby the compensation payable for acquisition of land was further enhanced.
For the detailed reasons recorded in Dr. Rajwant Singh' s case (supra), the present appeal is disposed of in the same terms.
