The State is in appeal seeking reduction of compensation for the acquired land.

Briefly, the facts of the case are that State of Haryana vide notification dated 7.2.2008, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act') sought to acquire land measuring 72.18 acres situated in village Bhatola, Tehsil and District Faridabad for development and utilization thereof as residential and commercial area for Sectors 76, 77 and 78, Faridabad. The same was followed by notification dated 6.2.2009, issued under Section 6 of the Act. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, 'the Collector'), vide award dated 4.2.2011, assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 42,00,000/- per acre.

Aggrieved against the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections which were referred to the learned court below, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, assessed the compensation for the acquired land @ ` 1052/- per square yard. The same has been impugned by the State before this Court. Learned counsel for the State very fairly submitted that in view of the judgment of this Court in RFA No. 7108 of 2012- Rampal and others v. Land Acquisition Collector and another, decided on 16.9.2015, nothing SHARMILA 2015.09.24 15:27 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document.
