Petition seeks by-poll in Mangalore constituency
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: A petition has been filed in the Madras High Court seeking a direction to the Election Commission to hold a by-election in the Mangalore constituency along with the by-poll in the Tirumangalam constituency on January 9.
G.Ramalingam, president of the Ivanur panchayat in Thittakudi taluk in Cuddalore district said he was a voter in Mangalore.
In the general elections in 2006, K.Selvam contested from the constituency as a candidate of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi and was declared elected.
On November 11, Mr.Selvam submitted his resignation as a member of the Assembly to the Speaker.
No action taken yet
The seat has fallen vacant. Consequently, the Election Commission ought to issue a notification for filling the vacancy. But, no action had been taken.
The people of the constituency have been deprived of a representative in the Legislative Assembly, the petitioner said.
