IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) TUESDAY, THE SECOND DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28598 of 2007 Between: 1 Duvvada Apparao S/o Yerrappa R/o Nagarampalli Village, and post, Vajrapukottur Mandal, Srikakulam District. 2 Bammadi Ananda Rao S/o Sriramulu R/o Pundigalli, Nagarampalli Villge, and Post, Vajrapukottur mandal, Srikakulam District. ..... PETITIONERS AND 1 The district Collector-cum- Election Authority, Irrigation Wing Srikakulam District, Srikakulam 2 The Sub-Collector-cum-appellate authority, Tekkali Division, Srikakulam District. 3 The Tahsildar-cum-Authorized Officer, Vajrapukottur Mandalam, Srikakulam District. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.TADDI NAGESWARA RAO Counsel for the Respondents:AGP FOR IRRIGATION & COMM AREA DEV. ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in deleting the names of valid voters and including ineligible voters in Nagarampalli Water Users Association Territorial Constituency No.11, as illegal and arbitrary. Heard Sri T.Nageswara Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Irrigation. The grievance of the petitioners in this writ petition is that against the draft voters’ list, the petitioners submitted their objections, but respondent No.3 illegally included 34 persons in the voters list and deleted 50 persons from the previous voters list. According to the petitioners, the election held on the basis of such defective voters list, is illegal. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of respondent No.1, the petitioners’ claim is resisted and it is stated that petitioner No.1 being a voter filed his nomination on 08.01.2008 and he had later withdrawn the same. As only one candidate was left in the field, he was declared as unanimously elected. It is further stated that petitioner No.2 is not the voter, as he does not possess the land in Territorial Constituency No.11. In my considered view, this Court cannot embark upon deciding various grievances raised by the petitioners. Admittedly, the result of the election was declared and a person other than the petitioners herein was declared as having been unanimously elected. If the petitioners feel aggrieved by the result of the election, which is said to have been held on the basis of defective voters list, that will give rise to an election dispute under the provisions of Andhra Pradesh Farmers’ Management of Irrigation Systems (Election Tribunals in respect of Water Users Associations, Distributory Committees and Project Committees) Rules, 1997. Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to approach the Election Tribunal, if they have felt aggrieved by the unanimous election of the third party. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP.No.37359 of 2007 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 2nd JUNE, 2009. kvni
