ORDER:
NAGESH BHEEMAPAKA, J.
The case of the petitioner, precisely as per the writ affidavit, is that he was appointed under G.O.Ms.No.2, Minority Welfare, dated 07.02.2008, as Additional Kazi of Qazzat, Qile Mohammed Nagar, Hyderabad, and he was removed him from service vide the impugned order, G.O.Rt.No.65, dated 07.08.2025, without conducting any enquiry, without specifying any misconduct attributable to him, and without affording him an opportunity to defend himself, and therefore the same is violative of the procedures under Section 2 of the Kazi’s Act, 1880.
1.1 It is stated that the petitioner’s jurisdiction as Additional Kazi covers the Qazzat, Qile Mohammed Nagar area, comprising parts of Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy District,
Removal of a Kazi under the Kazi’s Act, 1880, requires due process and can be based on misconduct associated with their office, including failure to oversee Naib Kazis adequately.
The court affirmed vicarious liability of public officials for acts committed by subordinates in official capacity, directing action under relevant provisions of law for accountability.
The inaction of the government in appointing a petitioner as Kazi is arbitrary and violates principles of natural justice, holding that prior dismissal from Naib Kazi does not disqualify one for Kazi....
The dismissal of a Naib Qazi does not violate principles of natural justice where no legal or statutory rights exist for the position under Kazi's Act.
The appointment of multiple Kazis must adhere to territorial demarcation and established procedures, with mere recommendations not infringing on existing appointments unless formally overlapping.
