THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4089 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners claim to have submitted applications to the Tahsildar, Nellore Rural Mandal, Nellore District, the fourth respondent herein, with a request to include their names in the voters list for Nellore Rural Constituency. Their grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. At the stage of admission, the learned Government Pleader for G.A.D. obtained instructions. It is stated that the verification into the claims of some of the petitioners has been completed and that it is found that the names of 33 petitioners herein are found in the voters list of other polling booths. As regards others, enquiry is said to be in progress. It is also stated that the Election Commission has accorded permission for updating the voters list till 04.04.2009. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for G.A.D. The Representation of Peoples Act, 1951, and the Rules made thereunder stipulate the procedure to be followed in the matter of preparation of voters list, inclusion or deletion of names therein. The petitioners are said to have filed applications for inclusion of their names in a particular village/booth. On account of the delay in completion of the exercise, they felt that no action has been taken on their applications. It is now stated across the Bar that the verification of the claims of the petitioners is undertaken and the names of such of the petitioners, who are found eligible, would be included. Since the Election Commission has stipulated 04.04.2009 as the last date for inclusion of the names in the voters list, the respondents have to complete the exercise before that date. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the claims of the petitioners shall be examined and decision thereon shall be taken before 25.03.2009. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:12.03.2009 Note: Issue cc in two days. (B/o) kdl
