Judgment & Decree
The choice of the Collector in the matter of appointment of lambardars should not ordinarily be interfered with even by the Commissioner. (b) Punjab Land Revenue Act (XVII of 1887)‑Appointment temporary Lambardar‑No undue weight will be given to such Lambar dar at the time of permanent appointment. Appointment will be revised as soon as quasi‑permanent re‑settlement of refugees on land has been completed. When that happens undue weight will not be given to the so called pre‑emptive rights that the temporary lambardar might allege to have secured in the meantime. Order. Akhtar Hussain, F.C.
‑This is a petition for revision against the order, dated 4th May, 1949 passed by the Commissioner Multan Division, whereby he upheld the order of the Collector Haveli, Project, Multan, dated 5th Novem ber, 1948 appointing Rahim Bux Khan as lambardar of Chak. No. 675 G.B. and creating an other post and appointing Altaff Hussain respondent thereto No interference in the order appealed against is called for. The reasons are :‑ (1) It has consistently been held by the Financial Commissioners that the choice of the Collector in the matter of appointment of lambardars should not ordinarily be interfered with even by the Commissioner. In the present case the Commissioner has also upheld the choice of the Collector There is, therefore, no justification for me to upset this unanimous finding. (2) The appointment made is of a purely temporary nature. All such appointments will be revised as soon as quasi‑permanent resettlement of refugees on land has been completed. When that happens undue weight will not be given to the so‑called pre‑emptive rights that he temporary lambardar might allege to have secured in the meantime. In short I see no ground for interference and reject the petition. K. M. A. Petition rejected.
