    Case Summary: Manoj Kumar v. Financial Commissioner Punjab (CWP/10991/2016) The Punjab & Haryana High Court dismissed Manoj Kumar's writ petition challenging his rejection for the Lambardar (village administrator) position of village Sahri, Hoshiarpur. The District Collector appointed respondent Bharat Lal as Lambardar in 2011 after assessing him as more suitable—noting his social work commitment and development contributions—despite Manoj Kumar having more land. The court upheld this decision, finding no patent illegality or perversity, applying the established principle that a Collector's discretionary appointment choice should not be lightly interfered with absent clear legal defects or irrationality.
