THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4651 of 2011 Date:25.02.2011 Between: Hulke Yadav ..... Petitioner AND The District Collector, Adilabad and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri A. Santosh Kumar Counsel for Respondent Nos.2 and 3: Sri V. V. Prabhakar Rao Counsel for Respondent No.1: -- The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the proceedings dated 18.02.2011 issued by respondent No.1 as illegal. The petitioner is a member of Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency, Gundaipet, Kowtala Mandal, Adilabad District. A casual vacancy in the office of President of Mandal Praja Parishad (MPP), Kowtala has arisen. On the directions issued by respondent No.3, respondent No.1 has issued the impugned proceedings appointing respondent No.2 as the Election Officer and declaring the schedule for the meeting for the election of the President of MPP. In this writ petition, the petitioner has raised various pleas relating to purported violation of the Rules notified in G.O.Ms.No.173, Panchayat Raj & Rural Development (Election & Rules) Department, dated 10.05.2006 for the appointment of the Election Officer and the procedure being followed for holding election. Nowhere in the writ petition, the petitioner has pleaded the prejudice that may be caused to his interests, if the procedure envisaged in the said Rules is not followed. It is trite that this Court exercising jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India need not interfere with the administrative decisions merely on the ground of procedural violations unless the person complaining of such violations suffers on account of such violations or any of his legal rights are affected. The petitioner failed to make out any case in this regard. The impugned proceedings were issued with a view to fill up the vacancy of President of MPP, as mandated by the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1994. This Court is not inclined to interdict further action in pursuance of the impugned proceedings on the purported ground of procedural violations. For the aforementioned reasons, the Writ Petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.5759 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 25th February, 2011 GHN
