1. ' MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.--This petition for leave to appeal has arisen out of a Lambardari case. The respondent No,2 was preferred for the appointment. The petitioner's writ petition having been dismissed, he has now sought leave to appeal.
2. ' Despite the findings of fact that the said respondent was more suitable person for the appointment as a Lambardar, the learned counsel has contended that the discretion exercised in favour of the said respondent should have been interfered with by the High Court in its writ jurisdiction. The ground urged in this behalf is that the said respondent was convicted and sentenced by a Civil Court for Contempt of Court, but was ultimately let off on accepting his unqualified apology.
3. Learned counsel was unable to rely on any law by virtue of which the respondent No,2, in the circumstances of this case, could not have been appointed as a Lambardar. Otherwise too, when he had perjured himself of contempt and his unqualified apology had been accepted, there was no bar in principle either, in so far as the question of appointment of a Lambardar is concerned.
4. ' Leave to appeal is, therefore, refused.
