Hyderabad, March 12: A writ petition was filed in the AP High Court on Wednesday challenging the decision to put off a local election in Shamshabad in view of the inauguration of GMR Rajiv Gandhi International Airport on March 14. The State Election Commission (SEC) had put on hold the election to Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency (MPTC) seat in Shamshabad.
Mr D. Venkatesh Goud of Shamshabad told the court that he had intended to contest the election and had made arrangements to file the nomination. He contended that the SEC had taken the decision following the plea of the Ranga Reddy district collector to postpone the election because of the inauguration of the airport. The petitioner informed the court that the SEC decision was contrary to the AP Panchayat Raj Rules 2006.
He urged the court to suspend the notification of the SEC.
