THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.16877 of 2011 ORDER: Heard Sri Peddanna, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri V.V.Prabhakara Rao, learned counsel appearing for all the respondents, and with their consent, this writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. The petitioner, who claims to be a resident of Padamati Thanda Village, H/o. Neredugommu, Chandampet Mandal, Nalgonda District and a voter of the said village, has filed this writ petition complaining inaction on the part of the 1st respondent-District Collector (Panchayat Wing), Nalgonda District, in considering the representation, dated 02.06.2011, submitted by him. The case of the petitioner is that Padamati Thanda Village consists of 500 voters in which a Polling Booth bearing No.152 has been in existence for the benefit of voters. The said Booth is now shifted to Cherlathanda Village, which is situated at a distance of 3 kms., from Padamati Thanda Village. The petitioner states that as per the norms, the Election Commission has decided to provide a Polling station to every village having more than 300 voters, provided there is a suitable building for it, and Polling station should be set up in such a manner that ordinarily no voter is required to travel more than 2 kms. for recording his vote. The petitioner, therefore, submitted a representation, dated 02.06.2011, to the 1st respondent seeking retention of the Polling Booth bearing No.152 at Padamati Thanda Village. As the 1st respondent has not considered the said representation, the petitioner has approached this Court for the aforesaid relief. This Court is not inclined to express any opinion on merits. The only grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that he made a representation, dated 02.06.2011, to the 1st respondent and the same has not been considered so far and, in the meanwhile, if the elections are held, the voters of Padamati Thanda Village would suffer great hardship. Having regard to the nature of the grievance, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the representation, dated 02.06.2011, submitted by the petitioner by passing appropriate order in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, this writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 21.06.2011 Note: Issue CC in two days B/o v v
