KHAZAN SINGH vs SHAMSHER SINGH

The Supreme Court held that the order of the Collector appointing Khazan Singh as Lambardar was final and could not be set aside without proper legal grounds. The Court found that the High Court's directive to invite fresh applications for the Lambardar position was unsustainable as long as Khazan Singh's appointment remained unchallenged. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter to the Financial Commissioner for a fresh decision on the appeal, allowing Shamsher Singh to join as a respondent to contest the appointment legally.
