Judgment & Decree
Petitioner in person. Abdur Rahim assisted by Aziz‑ud‑Din for Respondent. The petitioner's counsel is not present but he has argued on the following lines:‑ (1) The respondent is not residing in the village because he has undertaken work as Head Treasurer in the Treasuries of the district; and (2) The estate is not divided into sub‑divisions. The first argument does go in favour of the petitioner, but it appears that the duties of the respondent as contractor in the Treasuries do not demand his permanent absence from the village. The second argument is advanced by the petitioner in order to avoid his disqualification, because he has no land in the Patti in dispute. Even if the petitioner's argument were correct, the respondent has to be preferred to him, because he has hereditary claims for a Lambardari appointment. For the above reasons, I would not interfere in the appoint ment of the respondent initially ordered by the Collector and later confirmed by the Commissioner. The petition for revision is accordingly dismissed. K. M. A. Petition dismissed.
