The Qazi family of Lakhnauti (Bengali: লখনৌতির কাজী খান্দান) was a medieval Bengali Muslim family who lived in the royal city of Lakhnauti in the Bengal Sultanate.[1] The family was founded by Taj ad-Din an-Nahwi in the 15th century, and has produced numerous influential judges and scholars. The descendants of Shah Manjhan later moved to Gujarat and neighbouring states.[2]
