IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. LPA No. 680 of 2009 Date of Decision: July 30, 2009 Bhagat Singh …Appellant Versus Financial Commissioner, Revenue and others …Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. Rajender Singh Malik, Advocate, for the appellant. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. This is an appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent challenging order dated 17.3.2009 passed by the learned Single Judge in CWP No. 4031 of 2009. Learned Single Judge has recorded a categorical finding that the petitioner-appellant Bhagat Singh has been staying in Delhi and has not been staying in the village. This is a significant consideration for appointing a person to the office of the Headman (Lambardar). The aforesaid fact has also not been seriously disputed before us. Accordingly, the appeal lacks merit. Dismissed. In view of the fact that appeal has been dismissed on merit we do not feel any necessity to pass any order on the application seeking condonation of delay of 94 days in filing the appeal. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (JASWANT SINGH) July 30, 2009 JUDGE Pkapoor 2
