Bishan Dass vs Financial Commissioner Etc on 20 July, 2009<\/div>\n
CWP No. 10560 of 2009                                                                1\n\n\n    IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH\n\n\n                              CWP No. 10560 of 2009\n\n\n\n                                             Date of decision: July 20, 2009\n\n\n\nBishan Dass\n                                                          .... Petitioner\n\n                    Versus\n\n\nFinancial Commissioner etc.\n                                                          .... Respondents\n\n\nPresent:      Mr. Manohar Dadwal, Advocate for the petitioner.\n\n\n                                ***\n\nS.S. SARON, J.\n<\/pre>\n
              The petitioner aggrieved against the order dated 21.1.2009 (Annexure<\/p>\n
P7) passed by the learned Financial Commissioner (Appeals II) Punjab, Chandigarh<\/p>\n
affirming the appointment of Chaman Lal (respondent No.4) as Lambardar has filed<\/p>\n
the present petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India for setting<\/p>\n
aside the orders dated 21.1.2009 (Annexure P7), 5.12.2005 (Annexure P5) and<\/p>\n
25.11.2002 (Annexure P1) passed by respondents No.1 to 3 respectively.<\/p>\n
              On the death of Sh. Shankar Dass, Lambardar of village Talwara, Tehsil<\/p>\n
Mukerian, Distt. Hoshiarpur, the said post became vacant from amongst the members<\/p>\n
of the Scheduled Castes.      Proceedings were initiated for filling up the post of<\/p>\n
Lambardar. In all, five applications were received. The Assistant Collector, Grade I,<\/p>\n
Talwara recommended the name of Chaman Lal (respondent No.4) for the post of<\/p>\n
Lambardar of the village. The Naib Tehsildar, Talwara also agreed to the said report<\/p>\n
and forwarded the same to the SDM Mukerian.         The matter was considered by the
\n CWP No. 10560 of 2009                                                                 2<\/span><\/p>\n
District Collector, Hoshiarpur (respondent No.3) and the case of three candidates<\/p>\n
who were left namely Bishan Dass (petitioner), Chaman Lal (respondent No.4) and<\/p>\n
one Raj Kumar were considered. It was observed that Chaman Lal (respondent No.4)<\/p>\n
and Bishan Dass (petitioner) were working.          The applicant Raj Kumar was a<\/p>\n
shopkeeper. Accordingly, it was observed that Chaman Lal (respondent No.4) was a<\/p>\n
graduate and son of the deceased Lambardar. Therefore, he was a better candidate<\/p>\n
and his name was recommended by Naib Tehsildar, Talwara, Tehsildar Mukerian and<\/p>\n
Sub-Divisional     Magistrate-cum-Assistant     Collector,   Ist   Grade,   Mukerian.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, Chaman Lal (respondent No.4) was appointed as Lambardar.                The<\/p>\n
Commissioner (Appeals), Jalandhar (respondent No.2) vide order dated 28.5.2003<\/p>\n
(Annexure P3) set aside the order of the Collector as the process to fill up the<\/p>\n
vacancy of Lambardar amongst the members of the Scheduled Castes had been<\/p>\n
initiated without the explicit order of the District Collector, Hoshiarpur. Against the<\/p>\n
order dated 28.5.2003 (Annexure P3) passed by the Commissioner (Appeals),<\/p>\n
Jalandhar Division, Jalandhar, Bishan Dass (petitioner) and Chaman Lal (respondent<\/p>\n
No.4) filed revision petitions before the learned Financial Commissioner (Taxation)<\/p>\n
Punjab, Chandigarh who vide order dated 3.8.2004 (Annexure P4) set aside the order<\/p>\n
of the Commissioner (Appeals), Jalandhar Division, Jalandhar and remanded the case<\/p>\n
back to the Commissioner. The Commissioner, Jalandhar Division, Jalandhar vide<\/p>\n
order dated 5.12.2005 (Annexure P5) found Chaman Lal (respondent No.4) to be<\/p>\n
more suitable. He was younger in age, he was more educated; inasmuch as he was a<\/p>\n
graduate, whereas Bishan Dass (petitioner) was only matriculate. Besides, Chaman<\/p>\n
Lal (respondent No.4) owned land in the village and he was son of the deceased<\/p>\n
Lambardar.       There was no complaint against him. It was observed that though<\/p>\n
Chaman Lal (respondent No.4) remains busy but being a Government employee, it<\/p>\n
was held to be no disqualification. Moreover, his name had been recommended by<\/p>\n
all the four revenue authorities. The petitioner aggrieved against the order dated
\n CWP No. 10560 of 2009                                                               3<\/span><\/p>\n
5.12.2005 (Annexure P5) passed by the Commissioner, Jalandhar Division, Jalandhar<\/p>\n
filed a revision petition before the learned Financial Commissioner (Appeals II),<\/p>\n
Punjab, Chandigarh, who vide order dated 21.1.2009 (Annexure P7) has upheld the<\/p>\n
appointment of Chaman Lal (respondent No.4) as Lambardar.\n<\/p>\n
             Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that in fact Chaman Lal<\/p>\n
(respondent No.4) is a Government employee and he would not be available in the<\/p>\n
village to perform the function of Lambdar. It is submitted that the petitioner though<\/p>\n
was also employed in Government, however, he has retired in the Year 2007.<\/p>\n
Therefore, he can devote more time for performing duties as a Lambardar. In the<\/p>\n
circumstances, it is submitted that the appointment of Chaman Lal (respondent No.4)<\/p>\n
as a Lambardar is liable to be set aside.\n<\/p>\n
             After giving my thoughtful consideration to the matter, it may be noticed<\/p>\n
that the choice of Lambardar is primarily the prerogative and administrative act of the<\/p>\n
District Collector. His selection is normally not to be undone unless and until it is<\/p>\n
shown that the same suffers from gross irregularity, perversity or there is some patent<\/p>\n
error in his appointment. This Court in exercise of its supervisory writ jurisdiction<\/p>\n
under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India does not sit in appeal over the<\/p>\n
conclusions reached at by the revenue authorities in the choice of Lambardar. This<\/p>\n
Court is not to re-appreciate the evidence and material on record and thereby re-<\/p>\n
determine as to who would be the better choice for the post of Lambardar.      Review<\/p>\n
of the quasi-judicial orders to that extent is limited. Even otherwise, it is admitted<\/p>\n
case that mere employment in the State Government or any of its instrumentalities is<\/p>\n
not per se a disqualification for appointment of village Lambardar.        A Division<\/p>\n
Bench of this Court in Amarjeet Singh v. Financial Commissioner, Appeal-II,<\/a><\/p>\n
2001 (1) RCR (Civil), 449 held that mere factum of an employment with the State<\/p>\n
Government is not a disqualification for appointment as Lambardar.              In the<\/p>\n
circumstances, the revenue authorities having held Chaman Lal (respondent No.4) to
\n CWP No. 10560 of 2009                                                                      4<\/span><\/p>\n
be more suitable and his mere service          as Government employee not to be a<\/p>\n
disqualification, the choice of revenue authorities is not liable to be interfered with.<\/p>\n
             Accordingly, there is no merit in this petition and the same is dismissed.<\/p>\n
                                                      (S.S. SARON)
