The decision came as part of an appeal heard in the month of September, with the bench delivered its verdict today.

The case revolved around the eligibility of Md Asadullah, who serves as a Additional Collector / Joint Collector, to hold the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Telangana Waqf Board.

A petitioner had earlier challenged his appointment, arguing that his service category did not align with the eligibility criteria for the post.

Following the petition, a single-judge bench of the High Court had earlier ordered the state government to remove Asadullah from the position.

The state subsequently appealed this decision, prompting the division bench to review and stay the earlier order, pending further proceedings.
