JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA. HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE NIRMAL YADAV. PRESENT: MR. R.S. CHAUHAN, ADVOCATE FOR THE PETITIONER. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J. (ORAL) The petitioner has impugned the orders passed by the Collector, Commissioner and the Financial Commissioner by which respondent No.2 has been appointed as Lambardar of village Balala, District Hoshiarpur. A perusal of the impugned order shows that the petitioner has been non-suited primarily on the ground that he is more than 70 years of age and also the fact that he is also not a resident of village Balala but a resident of village Gardhiwala which is situated at a distance of 1½ kms. from village Balala. Apart from the above, respondent No.2 is 52 years of age and has studied upto M.A. (Pol. Science) and has also more land than the petitioner. We find no illegality in the impugned orders. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. (ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA) JUDGE November 27, 2006 (NIRMAL YADAV) Gulati JUDGE
