IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO:2704 OF 2005 DATED:16.12.2010 Between: Tikkavarapu Sanath Kumar Reddy .....PETITIONER AND 1. The District Collector, Nellore and others. .....RESPONDENTS This Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO:2704 OF 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action on the part of the respondents in deleting the petitioner’s name in the voters’ list of Macharlavaripalem Water Users Association, T.C.IV, T.P. Gudur Mandal, Nellore District, as arbitrary, illegal and violative of Articles 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently, to direct the respondents to include/insert the name of the petitioner in the Voters’ list of Macharlavaripalem Water Users Association, Gudur Mandal, Nellore District. According to the petitioner, he had purchased land admeasuring Ac.0.54 cents by way of registered sale deed within Macharlavaripalem village about six months prior to the filing of the writ petition and he also purchased Ac.3.66 cents of land in Sy.No.181/2 by way of an agreement of sale, within Macharlavaripalem village limits. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that the 3rd respondent proposed to issue an election notification of Water Users Association of Macharlavaripalem village, but his name was not included. Though he made a representation, the same was not considered. There is no necessity of going into all the details. On 15.3.2005 in WPMP No.3642 of 2005, this Court while ordering notice observed that the order of notice will not preclude the petitioner in preferring an appeal before the competent authority. Even otherwise, I am of the opinion that the cause in the writ petition may not survive at this length of time. However, the writ petitioner is at liberty to file an appeal before the competent authority, if his name is not included in the voters’ list of Water Users Association of Macharlavaripalem village, Gudur Mandal, Nellore District. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ Justice C.V. Ramulu Dated:16.12.2010 Nn. THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.
