THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6753 of 2002 ORDER: The father of the petitioner was functioning as a Kazi. Under a letter issued in the year 1946, the petitioner was permitted to act as Kazi. It is stated that ever since then, the petitioner is discharging the functions of Kazi for the area (Kazzath) known as “Secunderabad-Mai-Mazafath”. The Government of Andhra Pradesh in the Minority Welfare Department issued G.O.Ms.No.13, dated 20.03.2002, dividing the Kazzath into various parts and defining the jurisdiction of respective Kazis. The petitioner challenges the same. The respondent did not file any counter affidavit. No interim order was passed by this Court, while admitting the writ petition. Today, it is brought to the notice of this Court that the petitioner has since expired. The G.O. came into force almost a decade ago. The Office held by the petitioner was not hereditary. Even assuming that any successor of the petitioner had acquired any right, he has to work out his remedies separately in case he feels any grievance. Hence, the writ petition is closed as abated. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:10.03.2010. kdl
