RISAL SINGH Vs. STATE OF HARYANA AND ANOTHER

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This order will dispose of bunch of appeals bearing

(2.) Aggrieved against the awards of the Collector, the land owners filed objections which were referred to the learned court below, who keeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, assessed the market value of the land acquired vide the above three notifications @ Rs. 8,65,435/- per acre.

(3.) Learned senior counsel appearing for the landowners submitted that the learned court below has failed to appreciate the evidence produced on record by the landowners in the form of sale deeds. The reason given for rejection of the sale transactions is totally erroneous. Sale deeds (Ex. P1 and Ex. P2) have been rejected by merely stating that these are for small plots and that these were registered just three months prior to the issuance of notification under Section 4 of the Act, whereas sale deeds (Ex. P3 and Ex. P4) have been rejected opining that these were quite old. Even for rejection of other sale deeds (Ex. P5 to Ex. P11), produced by the landowners on record, the reasons assigned cannot stand judicial scrutiny.
