Vide order dated 28.11.2024, this Court disposed of the said writ petition granting liberty to the petitioner to prefer an appeal before the District Collector, Khammam, if they are so aggrieved by the orders dated 23.01.2024 and 24.01.2024 passed by respondent No.5 i.e., the Election Returning Officer-cum-Revenue Divisional Officer, Khammam Division, Khammam District. This Court directed the District Collector to consider the said appeal and dispose it of within two weeks from the date of receipt of such application.

In compliance with the said order, vide order dated 05.06.2025 in proceedings Rc.No.H1/Elec/0001/2025, respondent No.2 allowed the said appeal in-part and directed respondent No.3 to include names of petitioner Nos.2 to 6 in the Electoral roll part No.72, 73 and 74 of Ramakrishnapuram Village, Chinthakani mandal.

In the light of the said submissions, this writ petition is disposed of directing respondent No.3 to implement the order dated 05.06.2025 in proceedings Rc.No.H1/Elec/0001/2025 of respondent No.2 in respect of petitioner Nos.2 to 6 within 15 working days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
