However, the facts have been taken from<br \/>\nR.F.A. No.579 of 2006.\n<\/p>\n<p>                 Briefly, the facts are that vide notification dated 3.7.1997, issued<br \/>\nunder Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, `the Act&#8217;),<br \/>\nChandigarh Administration acquired land in Villages Nizampur, Burail and<br \/>\nJhumru. The Land Acquisition Collector (for short, `the Collector&#8217;) determined the<br \/>\nmarket value of the acquired land @ Rs. 5,91,200\/- per acre. He did not award any<br \/>\ncompensation        in respect of super structures erected on the acquired land.<br \/>\nAggrieved against the award of super structures, the land owners filed objections<br \/>\nwhich were referred to the learned Additional District Judge, Chandigarh, who<br \/>\nkeeping in view the material placed on record by the parties, upheld the award of<br \/>\nthe Collector.\n<\/p>\n<p>                 Learned counsel for the appellants relied upon judgments of this<br \/>\nCourt in       R.F.A.

The Collector had even exceeded its brief by opining on the nature of<br \/>\nconstruction by holding the same to be unauthorised, whereas no material was<br \/>\nplaced before him to record such a finding as neither he was the competent<br \/>\nauthority therefor nor any notice was issued to the land owners for the purpose.<br \/>\nThe submission is that the land owners are entitled to compensation on account of<br \/>\nacquisition of super structure at the rate claimed in the valuation report submitted<br \/>\nby them. On the other hand, learned counsel for Union Territory relying upon<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/doc\/597893\/\">State of Orissa v. Rajakishore Das,<\/a> (1996) 4 SCC 221, submitted that the<br \/>\nappellants in the present case have rightly been denied compensation on account of<br \/>\nacquisition of super structure as they were only entitled to the scrap value keeping<br \/>\nin view the fact that the structures made by them were unauthorised.\n<\/p>\n<p>                The issue regarding the entitlement of compensation on account of<br \/>\nstructure in Chandigarh and especially pertaining to Villages Nizampur, Burail and<br \/>\nJhumru has already been gone into by this Court in R.F.A.

Accordingly, the findings recorded by the learned<br \/>\nCourt below on this issue is set aside and it is held that the land owners will be<br \/>\nentitled to compensation on account of acquisition of super structure.\n<\/p>\n<p>                As far as the valuation of the super structure is concerned, in the<br \/>\naforesaid judgments, it has been opined that the land owners shall be entitled to<br \/>\ncompensation on the value assessed at PWD rates with 25% increase thereon.<br \/>\nTherefore, in the present set of appeals also, the land owners shall be entitled to<br \/>\n R.F.A.
