The Lahore High Court has issued a significant ruling regarding the appointment of a 'Lambardar'. The court declared that disqualifying a candidate or awarding zero marks based solely on "community" criteria is unfair and unlawful.
The judgment emphasizes that applicants cannot be disqualified based on arbitrary tribal sub-divisions. Furthermore, the court highlighted that candidates with relevant experience, such as those from families with a long history of service, should be evaluated on merit and overall performance.
