HON'BLE SHRI G.S.SINGHVI, THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 27117 OF 2006 Between: Alladi Srinivas & others ..... Petitioners AND Government of A.P., Rep. By its Principal Secretary, Agriculture and Cooperation Department, Hyderabad & others .....Respondents :: O R D E R :: Counsel for the petitioners : Shri M. Rama Rao Dated: 29.12.2006 Per G.S.SINGHVI, CJ The petitioners, whose names are included in the voters list of Rural Electric Co-operative Society Limited, Sircilla, Karimnagar, have filed this petition with the complaint that names of about 25,000 persons, who are consumers of electricity supplied by the society, have not been included in the voters’ list and have prayed for issue of a direction to the respondents to conduct elections only after including the names of electric users as members in the valid voters’ list. At the hearing of the petition, we enquired from Shri M. Rama Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners whether or not the names of his clients have been included in the voters’ list. In reply, learned counsel fairly stated that his clients’ names figure in the voters’ list. He, however, submitted that the names of 25,000 other persons have not been included in the voters’ list. In our opinion, the petitioners do not have the locus to make a grievance on behalf of others whose names are said to have been omitted from the voters’ list because it is neither the pleaded case of the petitioners nor any material has been placed before the Court that those persons are handicapped due to poverty, ignorance or any such other disability from seeking protection of their right by filing petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India or availing appropriate legal remedy. With the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.34855 of 2006 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is also dismissed.
