The Child Development Project Officer, Goh, Aurangabad 6. The B.D.O. Goh, Aurangabad 7. The Mukhia Berka Panchayat Block Goh, District Aurangabad 8. The Panchayat Secretary, Berka Panchayat 9. Sanju Kumari, Wife of Sri Arun Kumar, village Asyas, Berka Panchayat, P.S. Goh, District Aurangabad … Respondents. ----------- 2. 18.12.2009 Having perused the contents of the writ application in respect of the following relief: “(I) For issuance of a writ of Certiorari for quashing of the letter no.14 dated 7.4.2007 (Annexure 4/A) issued under the signature of the Mukhia, Gram Panchayat Berka (respondent no.7) and Panchayat Secretary, Gram Panchayat, Berka (respondent no.8) whereby and whereunder respondent no.9 was selected for training for consideration of her selection as Anganwari Sevika for Asyas Centre in Gram Panchayat Berka, District Aurangabad, in complete violation of the guidelines dated 13.10.2006 issued by the Secretary, Social Welfare, Government of Bihar, 2 ignoring candidature of the petitioner who was at the 1st position in the merit list and declared selected in the Aam Sabha dated 4.4.2007. (II) For issuance of writ of mandamus commanding the respondent authorities to consider and appoint the petitioner as Panchayat Sewika, who being qualified in all respect figured at the top of the merit list after alimination of the first candidate and was selected in the Aam Sabha dated 4.4.2007, yet respondent no.7 for extraneous considerations, rejected the candidature of the petitioner on totally erroneous ground that the husband of the petitioner was selected as “Panch” for the said Panchayat ignoring the fact that he had already resigned from the said post prior to the Aam Sabha dated 4.4.2007 and also that father of the petitioner had already retired from the post of Chaukidar in the year 1998 and further that „Asha‟ workers are not the persons holding the post of profit and hence there was no impediment in selection of the petitioner.” this Court would find that the earlier representations filed by the 3 petitioner to the Collector and even superior Officers including the Commissioner were not finally disposed of and the matter remained at the enquiry stage. In that view of the matter, this Court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a compact representation to the Collector of the District who now in view of the recent order of the State Government in its circular dated 10.12.2009 would ensure that the same is disposed of within the time frame fixed by the Government and in accordance with the guidelines issued on the subject of selection and appointment of Anganwari Sevika. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
