The landowners are in appeal seeking enhancement of compensation for the acquired land.

Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 11.11.2002, issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, 'the Act'), State of Haryana sought to acquire land measuring 82.80 acres situated within the revenue estate of village Patti Kaisth Seth, Tehsil and District Kaithal, for the purpose of development and utilisation thereof as commercial, professional, institutional and green belt adjoining Sector-19 and 20 Kaithal. The same was followed by notification issued under Section 6 of the Act dated 7.11.2003. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, "the Collector") vide his award dated 31.10.2005 assessed the market value of the acquired land @ ` 5,00,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the award of the Collector, the landowners filed objections. On reference, the learned court below vide award dated 26.3.

2013 determined market value of the acquired land @ ` 280/- per square yard. It is this award which has been impugned by the landowners before this court. Learned counsel for the appellants very fairly submitted that the claim made in the present appeal is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in RFA No. 2218 of 2007- Smt.
