Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.D.L.PANDU Counsel for the Respondent: GP FOR REVENUE The Court at the admission stage made the following : O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking to declare the election of the District Fishermen Cooperative Society Limited Mahaboobnagar held on 15- 06-2005 as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently to direct the respondent to take action on the representation, dated 16-06-2005, submitted by the petitioner. Heard both the learned counsel and perused the material on record. A perusal of the material available on record shows that the nomination of the candidates has not been considered properly and there are laches on the part of the Election Officer. On these grounds, the petitioner seeks to declare the election-in-question as illegal and arbitrary. The questions that have been raised by the petitioner are the matters to be adjudicated before an appropriate Forum, but not before this Court by invoking the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, I see no grounds to entertain this writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _______________________ (ELIPE DHARMA RAO, J) Date:11-07-2005 ghn To The District Collector, Mahaboobnagar, Mahaboobnagar District. 2.
