SINGHVI, CJ This is a petition for issue of a mandamus to the respondents to merge Ramanayyapeta, Vakalapudi, Thimmapuram, Sarpavaram, Ganganapalli, Indrapalem, Chidiga, Kovvada, Turangi, Penuguduru, Thammavaam and Nemam Villages in the area of Municipal Corporation of Kakinada by de-notifying the Gram Panchayats well before finalization of the voters list. Another prayer made in the writ petition is to direct the respondents not to issue election notification in respect of those 12 Villages. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. He fairly states that the issues raised in this petition are identical to those raised in Writ Petition No.11489 of 2006 (Ketha Venkata Lakshmi v. Government of Andhra Pradesh), which has been dismissed by a separate detailed order. In view of the above, this petition is dismissed with the observation that the detailed reasons recorded in order passed today in Writ Petition No.11489 of 2006 shall be read as part of this order.
