appellant's claim for higher compensation for the acquired land is covered by a decision rendered by this Court on 20.10.2022 in Jaspal Singh & Ors. vs. The State of Haryana & Ors. (C.A.Nos. 7516- 7521/2022), wherein the compensation has been enhanced to Rs.22,00,000/- (Rupees Twenty Two Lakhs) per acre.

4. Learned State counsel, however, submits and rightly so, that since the appellants did not approach the High Court against the Award of the Reference Court, they cannot be held entitled to any interest for the period to be calculated from the date of the Award of the Reference Court.

5. Consequently, the appeal is allowed to the extent that the appellants are held entitled to enhanced compensation at the rate of Rs.22,00,000/- (Rupees Twenty Two Lakhs) per acre, as awarded by this Court in Jaspal Singh's case (supra).

6. However, the appellants shall not be entitled to any interest from the date of passing of the Award by the Reference Court onwards.

7. As a result, the pending interlocutory application also stands disposed of.
