| Decision |
The appeal filed by the appellant Saeed Muhammad was dismissed by the Board of Revenue Punjab. The case revolved around the creation of an additional post of Lambardar due to administrative convenience in the village Rattokala, where the population had nearly doubled over the last two decades. The Commissioner found that one Lambardar could not manage the work of two Pattis effectively, leading to difficulties for the community in matters such as land revenue payment and attestation services. The appellant's argument that the creation of an additional post would reduce his income was deemed insufficient as administrative needs took precedence over individual financial concerns. The local authorities were recognized as the best judges of local conditions, and their decision was upheld without any indication of illegality or irregularity. |
| Summary |
This case examines the administrative decision to create an additional Lambardari post in the village Rattokala due to increased population and administrative challenges. The appeal was made by Saeed Muhammad, who was the Lambardar of two Pattis, against the decision that favored the creation of a new post for Haji Mahla Khan's Patti. The ruling emphasized the importance of addressing local administrative needs over individual income concerns, establishing that the local authorities are best equipped to make such decisions. This case highlights the significance of effective governance in managing local land revenue issues and ensuring community needs are met efficiently. |
