NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26762 of 2009 BETWEEN: K.Sunder S/o.Sri Kanakaiah, Resident of Warangal, Warangal District …Petitioner AND The Kakatiya University Rep. by its Registrar, Warangal And others. …Respondents The Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26762 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is an employee of the Kakatiya University, Warangal. The elections for recognition of Non-Gazetted Officers’ and Class-IV Employees’ Association became due. The 1st respondent appointed the 3rd respondent as Returning Officer for the said elections vide orders dated 21.11.2009. On the same day, the 3rd respondent issued notification fixing the elections programme commencing form filing the nominations and declaration of results between 26.11.2009 and 11.12.2009. The petitioner challenges the notification on two grounds. The first is that the voters list was not supplied to every member and the second is that the 3rd respondent is not qualified to be appointed as Returning Officer. Heard Sri D. Linga Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel for the 1st respondent. The first ground urged by the petitioner is not referable to any provision of law. The petitioner has not at all referred to the provision, which requires that the voters list must be supplied to every voter. As a matter of fact, that is not the practice in any election, either under the Representation of Peoples Act, 1951, The A.P. Co-operative Societies Act, 1964, or any other similar enactment. There are no complaints before this Court by any individual employee that his name was not included or improperly excluded in the voters list. So far as the second ground is concerned, except stating that an unnumbered Writ Appeal is pending before this Court, the petitioner has not stated as to how the 3rd respondent is not qualified to be appointed as Returning Officer for the said elections. Any election, which is proposed to be initiated in accordance with the relevant provisions of law, cannot be stalled on the strength of such vague, general and unfounded allegations. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed without any order as to costs. _________________________ JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY December 09, 2009 BVV
