This order will dispose of three appeals bearing RFA Nos. 1417, 2318 and 9112 of 2014, as common questions of law and facts are involved therein.
By filing the appeals, the landowners are seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land.
Briefly, the facts of the case are that vide notification dated 27.1.2003, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act'), land situated in village Dhaliawas, Hadbast No.173, Tehsil and District Rewari was acquired by the State of Haryana for residential and commercial Sectors 18, 19 and 20 Part and commercial Sector 17 Part at Rewari. The same was followed by notification dated 23.1.2004, issued under Section 6 of the Act. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector'), vide award dated 20.1.2006, assessed the market value of the acquired land of both villages @ ` 12,50,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the land owners filed objections. On reference under Section 18 of the Act, the learned court below assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 20,00,000/- per acre. It is this award which is impugned in the present appeals by the landowners. SHARMILA 2015.11.16 15:19 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document.

Accordingly, for the reasons mentioned in Raghunath's case (supra), the appeals are dismissed. Consequently, the accompanying application for delay in RFA No.9112 of 2014 is also dismissed.
