PARVEEN KUMAR Vs. HARYANA STATE

JUDGEMENT

(1.) IN a free country like India, right to own property is a fundamental right given by the Constitution of India and every citizen, as per his desire, can possess moveable and immovable property, but at the same time, in the interest of State and General Public, the property of a person can be acquired, but certainly after awarding compensation to him and this is the spirit of law, which spells out from the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short as "the Act").

(2.) BY this common judgment, I shall be disposing of three appeals, being RFA Nos. 2085, 2086 and 2087 of 1991 as they arise out of the same impugned award dated 17.9.1991 passed by Additional District Judge, Karnal and are being heard together. However, for the sake of convenience, facts are being extracted from RFA No. 2085 of 1991.

(3.) ON the other hand, reply was filed by the respondent-State controverting all the pleas taken up by the claimants in their appeals re-asserting that the value of the acquired land assessed by the Collector is correct and no further enhancement is required. They prayed for dismissal of the petition.
