THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.9820 OF 2006 Dated:14.06.2006 BETWEEN Boppudi Bapuji, s/o Ramamurthy ….PETITIONER AND The District Collector & District Election Officer, Prakasam District at Ongole, and others. ….RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION NO.9820 OF 2006 ORDER: The petitioner is resident of Kondamanjuluru village. He is a voter in electoral roll for Kondamanjuluru grama panchayat. After publication of the preliminary voters’ list, he allegedly found that 109 voters are not residents of the village and therefore, he submitted an application to the respondents to delete those 109 names from the voters’ list. As the same was not disposed of by the District Collector, the present writ petition is filed seeking a direction for expeditious disposal of the application/appeal. At the stage of preliminary hearing itself, the Mandal Revenue Officer has filed a detailed counter affidavit. While opposing the writ petition on the ground that the petitioner did not submit any objections before the Electoral Registration Officer before 04.12.2005, it is stated that the application submitted by the petitioner to the District Collector was enquired into by Special Deputy Collector, Velugonda Project Unit-IV, Ongole and that after conducting enquiry, the said Special Officer rejected the case of the petitioner for deletion of voters in P.S.No.41 of Kondamanjuluru village relating to No.114 Addanki Assembly Constituency. As the petitioner’s application has already been considered and rejected, nothing survives in the writ petition and it is accordingly dismissed. This, however, does not preclude the petitioner from challenging the election to Kondamanjuluru grama panchayat before appropriate Election Tribunal. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) 14.06.2006 VGB
