IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.17526 of 2011 Date of Decision: September 19, 2011 Sohan Singh ...Petitioner Versus Financial Commissioner, Haryana, Chandigarh & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 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? Present: Mr.Durga Dutt Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner was appointed as a Lambardar by the Collector. The Commissioner dismissed the appeal filed against this order. The Financial Commissioner, however, has accepted the revision filed by respondent No.3. The reason which weighed with the Financial Commissioner is that the petitioner was accused of electricity theft for which he was fined also. Financial Commissioner apparently has interfered in the order on parameters laid down. Person, who is accused of electricity theft and imposed fine also, certainly can be said to be carrying disadvantage for appointment to the post of Lambardar. I am, thus, not inclined to interfere in the discretion exercised by the Financial Commissioner. Dismissed. September 19, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
