Can you tell me about the Mamlatdar who was a devotee of Sai Baba, as introduced in Chapter 21?

Chapter 21 introduces a new story about a man who was highly educated, holding a B.A. degree. Through his career, he progressively became a Mamlatdar and eventually rose to the rank of Collector. The chapter notes that by his good fortune, this officer obtained the company of Sai Baba. The text provides an insightful description of the Mamlatdar post, comparing it to a hill that looks beautiful from a distance but is surrounded by thorny bushes up close. This metaphor suggests the job was very difficult and challenging despite its high status and outward appearance of being desirable.
