It is further submitted that earlier petitioner had filed E.O.P.No.1 of 2019, on the file of Election Tribunal-cum-Senior Civil Judge, Huzurnagar, Suryapet District and contented that the respondent No.6 had secured candidature for election to the office of ZPTC by forging documents and falsely declaring that her 2nd and 3rd children are twins, concealing the fact that she had more than two children, thereby rendering him ineligible to contest in the local body elections. On discovery of such fraud, the learned Senior Civil Judge, Huzurnagar, vide order dated 05.02.2024 in E.O.P.No.1 of 2019, passed the following order:-

“In the result, this election petition is allowed with costs declaring the election of respondent No.1/Nallapati Parmeela as Member of Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency, Munagala, Suryapet District as void under Section 21(3) of the Telangana Panchayat Raj Act, 2018 and further declaring the election petitioner/Deshireddy Jyothi as duly elected Member of Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency, Munagala, Suryapet District.”

4. The case of the petitioner is that though the FIR No.154 of 2024 was registered on 22.07.2024, till date the respondent authorities failed to complete investigation and file charge sheet before the competent Court. Hence, the petitioner on 03.04.2025, made a representation, enclosing relevant evidence and orders and requested respondent authorities to direct the concerned to complete investigation and take necessary action against respondent No.6 and when the same was not considered, the petitioner on 09.07.2025, made a representation and requested respondent No.5 to conduct detailed investigation in the matter and take action against respondent No.6. However, the same is also pending for consideration. Aggrieved by the same, this writ petition is filed.

6. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondents pray this Court to pass appropriate orders.
