It is stated that inspite of the said memo dated 24.10.2014 and the second memo dated 27.02.2016, calling upon the Collector to examine the matter as per Section 2 of the Kazis Act, till date the same is kept pending and the appointment of the petitioner to the post of Kazi is being delayed for no reason.
