THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.2452 of 2007 Between: Shaik Chand Basha, S/o.Basha. .. PETITIONER and The Principal Secretary, Wakf & Minority Dept. and others. .. RESPONDENTS ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a qualiﬁed person and doing religious rites and ceremonies and, therefore, he is eligible to be appointed as Khazi in the Kandukur Town and Division. It is stated that he had ﬁled an application before the respondents to consider his case. As the same was not considered, he ﬁled W.P.No.26805 of 2005 and the same was disposed of directing the petitioner to ﬁle an application before the 1st respondent. Accordingly, the petitioner has ﬁled application, dated 24-12-2005, before the 1st respondent. Basing on the said application, the 1st respondent issued Memo No.7620/Wakf-I/A2/2005-3, dated 29-11-2006, requesting the Collector, Prakasham District, Ongole, to furnish information relating to the names of Khazies working in the Mandals of Kandukur Division and the names of the Mandals in Kanukur Division; whether the petitioner is performing khazi duties for the last 15 years without any orders of the Government; whether there is any justiﬁcation to appoint one more Khazi with reference to keeping in view the population and number of marriages being performed in the area; and that the local area of quazaath jurisdiction has to be demarcated clearly to avoid future legal complications. It is stated that already one Khazi is working in that area and, therefore, to consider the petitioner’s application, the said information has been asked for. But, however, pursuant to the said memo of the 1st respondent, dated, 29-11-2006, the 3rd respondent has not furnished any information, so far, to enable the 1st respondent to take appropriate action. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, the 3rd respondent is directed to furnish information as required by the 1st respondent in Memo No.7620/Wakf-I/A2/2005-3, dated 29-11-2006, as expeditiously as possible, within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 12-02-2007 Prv
