Emad Jung (the second of that name), Kotwal of
Hyderabad, who died in his 47th year and Hakim-
ud-Dowlah's younger brother, Jalaluddin Moham-
mad Nawab Saad Jung, who was a judge of the
High Court and died in his 44th year. They were
Nizamat Jung's first cousins* and their premature
deaths deprived the State of eminent men and
trustworthy servants. His elder brother Fasihud-
din Ahmed, the second Nawab Rifat Yar Jung,
served in the Revenue Department and was
Subedar of Aurangabad before he retired. He
was a man universally respected on account of his
noble character and generosity.

Nizamat Jung's father joined the State service
in 1862 and worked with the Revenue Minis-
ter, Nawab Mukram-ud-Dowlah, the nephew and
son-in-law of Sir Salar Jung, both as tutor and
assistant. In 1875 he was appointed Taluqdar
(Collector) for the Atraf-e-Balda District where he
did excellent work by introducing the use of legal
documents and a proper system of checking the
revenue collections, and carried out the assessment
of the Inams and Muqtas of Patch and Patwaris.
His work was commended by the Prime Minister,
Sir Salar Jung I, in the following words : " If other
Taluqdars would follow his example, there would
be a decided improvement within a short time in
the results of tours." Transferred as First Taluq-
dar to the Raichur District at the critical time
when the great famine of 1875-76 was raging in

*Hakim-ud-Dowlah, Rifat Yar Jung and Saad Jung had been at
Cambridge and were barristers-at-law.
