    The High Court dismissed Vasdev Singh's writ petition challenging his removal as Lambardar (village headman) of Marula, Hoshiarpur. The court upheld the Commissioner's 2018 decision to set aside the Collector's appointment of Singh and instead appoint Davinder Singh, finding the Collector's order "apparently perverse" for ignoring Rule 19-B requirements regarding SC Lambardar appointments, including overlooking Singh's pending criminal case under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and improperly dismissing the more qualified candidate merely for being a vegetable vendor. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
