IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 17402 of 2008 DATE OF DECISION : 01.10.2008 Lal Singh .... PETITIONER Versus Financial Commissioner, Haryana and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE NIRMALJIT KAUR Present: Mr. Jitender Dhanda, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) The petitioner, who was one of the candidates for the post of Lambardar of Village Siwaha, Tehsil and District Jind, has filed this petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India for quashing the order dated 14.5.2008, passed by the Financial Commissioner, Haryana, whereby the order of appointment of respondent No.4 as Lambardar has been upheld. Collector, Jind, after taking the comparative merits of all the candidates appointed respondent No.4 as Lambardar of the said village and the said order has been upheld by the Commissioner, Hisar and the Financial Commissioner, Haryana. Counsel for the petitioner contends that the finding recorded by CWP No. 17402 of 2008 -2- the authorities that the petitioner was in illegal possession of the Gram Panchayat land was only based upon a demarcation report submitted by the Local Commissioner and no order of ejectment under section 7 of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961 has been passed. After hearing counsel for the petitioner, we do not find any ground to interfere in the impugned order, as in our opinion, the observation can also be made by the competent authority, while relying upon the demarcation report and for that purpose, passing of the ejectment order is not necessary. Dismissed. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE October 01, 2008 ( NIRMALJIT KAUR ) ndj JUDGE
