It is the case of the petitioner that he is the native of Vinukonda, Guntur District and his name was shown in the voters’ list since 15 years, but in the current voters’ list, his name was not figured, though the name of his wife was shown. He filed an appeal before the second respondent bringing the fact of deletion of his name from the voters’ list and requesting to restore his name. But so far, no action has been taken by the second respondent. Hence, the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader. The grievance of the petitioner is that his name was deleted from the voters’ list of 10th Ward, Vinukonda, depriving him from contesting the ensuing Municipal elections and though he filed an appeal, no action has been taken so far. In this view of the matter, without going into the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission directing the second respondent to consider the appeal filed by the petitioner for restoration of his name in the voters’ list and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ 04.08.2005 kdl
