THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.19508 of 2007 Between: Pamu Ramaiah. .. PETITIONER and The District Election Authority, Karimnagar and others. .. RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.19508 of 2007 ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner that he filed O.P.No.1 of 2006 before the Election Tribunal-cum-Junior Civil Judge, Husnabad, questioning the election of the 5th respondent, who was elected as a Sarpanch of Vinjapally Village, Koheda Mandal, Karimnagar District and also to recount the votes, as the 5th respondent was elected with a majority of one vote only. During the pendency of the Election Petition, the petitioner filed I.A.No.126 of 2006 in O.P.No.1 of 2006 before the Election Tribunal-cum-Junior Civil Judge, Husnabad, seeking a direction to respondents 1 to 5 to deposit ballot papers and all the documents concerned, i.e., valid and invalid votes and Form Nos.17 and 18 etc., in order to avoid tampering of votes by respondents 1 to 4. The learned Judge allowed the said I.A. through order, dated 09-11-2006. But, so far, the Election Petition has not been disposed of and no orders have been passed for recounting the votes. I am not inclined to express any opinion with regard to the rival contentions. But, however, when the Election Petition has been filed, the same shall be disposed of without any undue delay. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the Election Tribunal-cum-Junior Civil Judge, Husnabad, to consider and dispose of the Election Petition No.1 of 2006, after giving reasonable opportunity to all the concerned, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 13-09-2007 Prv
