The Reference Court enhanced the amount of compensation to Rs. 400/480 per square yard. 2.3 The judgment(s) and award(s) passed by the Reference Court were the subject matter of appeals at the instance of the landowners as well as the State of Haryana before the High Court. By the impugned common judgment and order, the High Court has determined the market value of the acquired land at Rs. 435/-per square yard with respect to notification dated 7.4.1986; at Rs. 566/-per square yard with respect to notification dated 5.6.1992 and at Rs. 795/-per square yard with respect to notification dated 3.7.1995. By the impugned common judgment and order, the High Court has determined the market value of the acquired land at Rs. 435/-per square yard with respect to notification dated 7.4.1986; at Rs. 566/-per square yard with respect to notification dated 5.6.1992 and at Rs. 795/-per square yard with respect to notification dated 3.7.1995. 3. Feeling aggrieved and dissatisfied with the impugned common judgment and order passed by the High Court, the original landowners have preferred the present appeals and have prayed for enhancement of the amount of compensation. 4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respective appellants – original landowners – claimants have heavily relied upon the decision of this Court dated 11.03.2019 passed in Civil Appeal No. 2736 of 2019 and other allied civil appeals by which with respect to the very notifications dated 7.4.1986, 5.6.1992 and 3.7.1995 and with respect to the lands acquired of the very village/s, this Court has determined the compensation at Rs. 435/-per square yard with respect to the lands acquired under notification dated 7.4.1986; at Rs. 860/-and Rs. 1210/-per square yard for the lands acquired under notifications dated 5.6.1992 and 3.7.1995 respectively. Therefore, it is prayed to enhance the amount of compensation at par with all those other landowners whose lands have been acquired under the same notifications. 5. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State of Haryana is not in a position to dispute the above. However, has opposed the appeals on the ground of delay in preferring the appeals. 6. At the outset, it is required to be noted that vide orders dated 5.9.2022, the delay in preferring the appeals has been condoned by this Court, subject to rider that the appellants-claimants shall not be entitled to the statutory benefits including interest on the enhanced amount of compensation for the period between the date of the judgments of the High Court till the respective appeals have been preferred before this Court. Even otherwise, considering Section 28A of the 1894 Act, the claimants similarly situated whose lands have been acquired under the same notifications shall be entitled to the enhanced amount of compensation at par with the other landowners whose lands have been acquired under the same notifications. Even otherwise, considering Section 28A of the 1894 Act, the claimants similarly situated whose lands have been acquired under the same notifications shall be entitled to the enhanced amount of compensation at par with the other landowners whose lands have been acquired under the same notifications. Therefore, keeping in mind Section 28A of the 1894 Act, this Court condoned the delay, however, on condition to deny the statutory benefits/interest on the enhanced amount of compensation from the date of the judgment of the High Court till the respective appeals have been preferred before this Court, considering the interest of the State and to see that there is no additional burden of statutory benefits/interest on the State for no fault of the State. 7. Now so far as the merit of the appeals is concerned, it is not in dispute that with respect to the lands acquired under the same notifications dated 7.4.1986, 5.6.1992 and 3.7.1995, this Court vide a detailed judgment and order dated 11.03.2019 passed in Civil Appeal No.2736 of 2019 (Balwant Singh (D) through Lr. Gurbinder Singh v. The State of Haryana) and other allied appeals, has determined the compensation @ Rs. 435/-per square yard for the land acquired under notification dated 7.4.1986; @ Rs. 860/-and Rs. 1210/-per square yard for the lands acquired under notifications dated 5.6.1992 and 3.7.1995 respectively. Therefore, the appellants herein – landowners – claimants also shall be entitled to the same compensation as determined by this Court, as in the case of appellants also the lands have been acquired under the same notifications dated 7.4.986, 5.6.1992 and 3.7.1995. 8. In view of the above and for the reasons stated above and following the judgment and order passed by this Court in the case of Balwant Singh (D) through Lr. Gurbinder Singh (supra), all these appeals are partly allowed. Accordingly, the judgment/s of the High Court is/are modified and the claimants of the land acquired under notification dated 7.4.1986 shall be entitled to the compensation @ Rs. 435/-per square yard. The claimants of the land acquired under notifications dated 5.6.1992 and 3.7.1995 shall be entitled to compensation @ Rs. 860/-and Rs. 1210/-per square yard respectively. The landowners shall be entitled to all other statutory benefits under the 1894 Act. 435/-per square yard.

The landowners shall be entitled to all other statutory benefits under the 1894 Act. However, as observed hereinabove and as observed while condoning the delay in preferring the appeals, it is directed that the claimants shall not be entitled to the statutory benefits including interest under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 on the enhanced amount of compensation from the date of the impugned judgment/s of the High Court till the respective appeals have been preferred before this Court. All these appeals are partly allowed to the aforesaid extent. However, in the facts and circumstances of the case, there shall be no order as to costs.
