IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT HYDERABAD FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA & THE STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE EIGHTEENTH DAY OF TWO THOUSAND AND FOURTEEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No. 16211 of 2014 BETWEEN Syed Khader Mohiuddin AND ... PETITIONER The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Principal Secretary (Department of Revenue), A.P. Secretariat Building, Hyderabad and others.
...RESPONDENTS The Court made the following:
ORDER:
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents.
2. The primary grievance of the petitioner is that he is entitled to be recognised as a hereditary Mujawar of Dargah Hazrath Jahangir Peeran at Immulanarava Village. The application of the petitioner for recognition, as such, appears to be pending with the board for quite sometime and in spite of directions of this court in W.P.No.14809 of 2013, dated 15.03.2013, so far no orders are passed. It appears from the record that an enquiry was already conducted and a report dated 01.05.2013 was already submitted to the Board by the Deputy Secretary-cum-Enquiry Officer of the Board. However, decision on that issue is still awaited. Hence, alleging inaction petitioner has filed the present writ petition.
3. Learned Standing Counsel states that, at the moment since Board is not continuing, a decision on this matter is necessary to be taken by the Board and though the reports necessary are readily available with the Board, appropriate decision will be taken as and when the Board is constituted.
4. In view of the earlier order of this court in W.P.No.14809 of 2013, dated 15.05.2013, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to take appropriate decision in the matter expeditiously at least within two months from the date of constitution of the Board.
As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J July 18, 2014 LMV
