On Thursday, Dr Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar was reinstated as the State Election Commissioner of Andhra Pradesh.

State Panchayat Raj & Rural Development principal secretary Gopal Krishna Dwivedi issued an order in this regard on Thursday. A notification by the governor says that Kumar has been restored as SEC in accordance with the orders of the State HC.

"In accordance with the orders of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh, I, Biswa Bhusan Harichandan, Governor of Andhra Pradesh, hereby, restore the position of Dr N Ramesh Kumar, IAS (retd,) as State Election Commissioner," said Biswa Bhusan Harichandan, Governor, Andhra Pradesh in the order. Dr Ramesh Kumar was removed from SEC position by the YSRCP Govt after he had postponed local body elections. The following developments raked up a political storm. The legal battle is continuing in High Court & Apex Court.

In May, the High Court of Andhra Pradesh had cancelled the ordinance brought by State Govt changing the rules of appointment of SEC.
