THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3809 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner was elected as a Member of Krishnagiri Mandal Parishad, Karnool District in the year 2006. She approached this Court with a complaint that the respondents have deleted large number of names from the photo voters list, 2009 of T.Gokulapadu Village, Krishnagiri Mandal, Kurnool District, which is part of Pathikonda Assembly Constituency. She contends that in the course of updating the voters list of the said Village, the respondents have deleted about 150 names from the voters list without proper verification and on political influence. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for G.A.D. The Representation of the Peoples Act, 1951 and the Rules made thereunder prescribe a detailed procedure for the purpose of preparation of voters list and inclusion and exclusion of names in the said list that was already prepared. Issuance of notice to a person before his name is deleted from the voters list is mandatory. The petitioner does not have any personal grievance of her own. Her complaint is about the exclusion of large number of persons from the voters list of T.Gokulapadu Village, Krishnagiri Mandal, Kurnool District. The inclusion or exclusion of the name of an individual in the voters list is a matter concerning him and nobody else. It is for the respective individuals to work out their remedies. Further, the reasons for exclusion of the name of an individual from the voters list are many and hardly a common pattern or basis exists for this. It is only when the affected person complains of any infraction of law, that this Court would have an occasion to examine the same. When the affected party himself did not feel aggrieved, a third person cannot complain of the exclusion. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the affected persons to avail the remedy of appeal, in case they feel aggrieved by the exclusion of their names from the voters list. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:27.02.2009 kdl
