Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Commissioner, Hissar Division, which set aside the Collector's appointment of Satbir Singh as Lambardar of village Pehladgarh. The Court found that the Collector's decision was based on unsubstantiated allegations against Ishwar Singh, the appellant, and that the Commissioner had rightly considered Ishwar Singh's superior qualifications and experience. The Court emphasized that the Collector's order must be justified and not arbitrary, affirming the principle that decisions must be based on clear evidence and merit.
