This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus declaring the action of respondents 1 to 3 in not passing any orders on the representation made by the petitioner on 29-07-2006 through Fax praying recounting of the votes basing on the contradictory statements given to the print media as against the valid votes polled as being illegal, arbitrary and violative of principles of natural justice and fair play and consequently direct the respondents to hold recounting of the votes in respect of Chilukuru Gram Panchayat of Nalgonda District and pass such other suitable orders. 3. It is stated that as per the list furnished to the petitioner by the polling agents, the valid votes polled are 4,196 and as per the statement given by the respondents 1 to 3 to the print media, it is 4,195. It is also stated that yielding to the pressures brought out by the local ruling party leaders, the respondents have included even the invalid votes into the account of the 4th respondent and declared her as won the election by one vote as against the petitioner while deleting the valid votes from the counting apart from not stating what happened to the other two votes which were not counted for. Hence, the petitioner made a representation on 29-07-2006 by fax to respondents 1 to 3. Several other contraventions also had been specifically raised. 4. It is needless to say that these are all factual details which may have to be gone into on adduction of evidence if so required in an election petition. Inasmuch as the petitioner is having a remedy by way of an election petition, liberty is given to her to approach the appropriate Election Tribunal. With the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________ P.S.NARAYANA,J Dated:-07-08-2006 sj
