ORDER
1. Pertaining to a notification dated 7.3.1963 issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, pursuant whereto agricultural lands in village Tughlakabad were acquired, learned Reference Court has determined fair market value @ ?32,000/per bigha.
2. The reasoning of the Reference Court is that a Division M APP No.394/2009 Page No.l of[2] 2011:DHC:13926 Bench of this Court, in the decision reported as 1992(48) DLT 202 Chandan Vs. UOI had determined fair market value @ ?40,000/- per bigha.
