    The High Court of Punjab & Haryana dismissed Satinder Singh's writ petition challenging his non-appointment as Lambardar of Village Palakhan. The court found no patent illegality in the Collector's appointment of Satpal Singh, holding that education and age alone cannot override the Collector's discretionary choice when no minimum qualification is prescribed under Punjab Land Revenue Rules, and the appointee has successfully discharged duties for over a decade without complaints. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
