Present:

Mr. Rajesh Arora, Advocate, for the landowner. Mr. Arun Beniwal, Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. RAJESH BINDAL, J.

The landowner is in appeal seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land.

Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 8.5.1995, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), the State of Haryana sought to acquire land situated within revenue estate of village Jharsentli, Tehsil Ballabhgarh, District Faridbad, for development and utilisation thereof as transport, communication, commercial, residential and institutional area for Sector-61, Faridabad. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, the Collector) vide award dated 30.4.1998 assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 5,85,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowner filed objections. On reference, the learned court below vide award dated 23.12.2000 determined the market value of the acquired land @ ` 400/- per square yard. It is this award which is impugned before this court seeking enhancement of compensation.

Learned counsel for the landowner submitted that the claim made in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in RFA No. 2501 of 2001, titled as Ved Pal and others vs State of Haryana and others, decided on 3.5.2006.
