    Case Summary: WA/475/2026 Court Decision: The Chhattisgarh High Court Division Bench dismissed Naveen Kumar Kurre's writ appeal, upholding the appointment of Dhan Lal Kurre (respondent) as Village Kotwar. The court affirmed the Single Judge's finding that preference for Kotwar positions ordinarily goes to the ex-Kotwar's son, and that Dhan Lal Kurre's greater maturity and experience at age 45 made him more suitable than the 24-year-old appellant, despite the Gram Panchayat's earlier recommendation of Naveen Kumar Kurre. Key Reasoning: The court found no illegality, irregularity, or jurisdictional error in the Single Judge's order, which recognized settled practice favoring the ex-Kotwar's son and emphasized that Kotwar duties require community familiarity and experience better suited to an older candidate.
