Civil Writ Petition No. 13916 of 2010 -1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 13916 of 2010 Date of Order: 06.08.2010 Suraj Bhan alias Billu ....Petitioner Versus Financial Commissioner and others ..Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA Present: Mr. Kul Bhushan Sharma,Advocate for the petitioner. RAJIVE BHALLA, J (Oral). The petitioner prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the orders dated 26.09.2007, 12.02.2009 and 15.02.2010, passed by the Collector, Rewari, the Commissioner, Gurgaon Division, Gurgaon and the Financial Commissioner, Haryana, Chandigarh. Counsel for the petitioner submits that while selecting respondent no.4, the petitioner's experience as Sarbrah Lambardar for 11 years has been ignored. It is further submitted that all other factors being more or less equally, the petitioner should have been appointed as the Lambardar, in view of the services rendered as a Sarbrah Lambardar. I have heard counsel for the petitioner, perused the impugned orders and find no reason to interfere with the discretion exercised by the Collector duly affirmed by the Commissioner and the Financial Commissioner. In the absence of perverse, arbitrary or Civil Writ Petition No. 13916 of 2010 -2 preposterous exercise of jurisdiction on the part of the Collector, the choice of the Collector has been rightly affirmed by the Commissioner and the Financial Commissioner. The petitioner's argument that his service as a Sarbrah Lambardar entitles him to precedence, is neither supported by any rule nor any principle of law. The writ petition is dismissed.
