JUDGMENT
1. The petitioner has filed the instant petition for quashing the order dated 03.02.2025, whereby the respondent No. 3 has returned the case of the petitioner to the respondent No. 4 with a request to appoint the Lambardar, who is less than 60 years of age.
2. In terms of Jammu and Kashmir Lambardari Rules, 1980, a person beyond the age of 60 years cannot continue as a Lambardar. Since the petitioner has already crossed the age of 60 years, he cannot be granted relief as prayed for by him in this petition. Accordingly, the present petition is found to be misconceived, the same is dismissed.
