Learned State Counsel informs that he is not in a position to
contest the averment that certain land owners, whose land had been
acquired vide the impugned notification itself had been awarded
compensation at the rate of Rs.35,000/- by the learned Reference Court.
Learned counsel for the appellants states that he would be
content and interests of justice would be served if the compensation
already awarded to the appellants in this matter is enhanced to be payable
at the rate of Rs.35,000/- per acre. This is insofar as the land acquired is
concerned.
Insofar as the assessment of value of the tree plantation is
concerned, it is common ground presently that matter is covered by the
judgment dated 19.11.1997 passed in LPA No.1169 of 1987 titled as
`Urmila Kakkar Vs. State of Haryana’.
The appeal shall stand disposed of accordingly in the light of
the consensual position aforementioned. The appellants shall be entitled
to compensation at the rate of Rs.35,000/- per acre in respect of the
acquired land. Qua the valuation of the plantations, the appellants would
be entitled to amount of compensation in accordance with the judgment
dated 19.11.2007 passed in Urmila Kakkar’s case (supra).
