THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.14076 OF 2010 DATED 18TH JUNE, 2010 BETWEEN Kandi Shiva Lingam And Another … Petitioners And The Chief Election Commissioner, Buddha Bavan, Hyderabad. And Others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.14076 OF 2010 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioners is with regard to the alleged inaction of the respondents in considering their representation dated 20.05.2010 with regard to publication of a fresh voters’ list for election to Ward No.4, Ghatkesar Gram Panchayat. It is an admitted fact that the State Election Commission already issued the election notification dated 14.06.2010 notifying the election schedule for the said election. Once the election process has commenced, it is not for this Court to interdict the same in a writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution unless exceptional circumstances warrant so. In the present case, the complaint of the petitioners is only with regard to the preparation of the voters’ list which does not satisfy the said requirement. In this regard, reference may also be made to the Full Bench Judgment of this Court in KALLA RAMAKRISHNA v. STATE ELECTION COMMISSION, HYDERABAD[1] wherein it was held to the effect that this Court would not exercise extraordinary jurisdiction to entertain petitions of this nature during the election process. The remedy for the petitioners is to file an election petition after the completion of the election. This Writ Petition is not maintainable and is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission. No costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 18TH JUNE, 2010 VGSR/PGS [1] 2004 (6) ALD 587 (FB)
