IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3406 of 2011 SUNITA KUMARI W/O SHREE RAMESH KUMAR R/O VILL. MADHUBANI, PO- MAHDEYIYAN, PS- MEENAPUR, DISTT MUZAFFARPUR---------------------PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DIVISIONAL COMMISSIONER, TIRHUT DIVISION, MUZAFFARPUR 3. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, MUZAFFARPUR 4. THE DISTRICT PROGRAMME OFFICER, MUZAFFARPUR 5. THE CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OFFICER, MEENAPUR, MUZAFFRARPUR 6. THE MUKHIYA, GRAM PANCHAYAT AT MAHDEYIYAN, MEENAPUR, MUZAFFARPUR 7. THE PANCHAYAT SECRETARY, GRAM PANCHAYAT AT MAHDEYIYAN, MEENAPUR, MUZAFFARPUR-------------RESPONDENTS ----------- 3 21.6.2011 Strange are the ways of the respondents who are saddled with the responsibility of appointment of Anganbari Sevika in the particular case. Admitted position is that the petitioner was the person selected by Aam Sabha and the recommendation made for her appointment as Anganbari Sevika. That was way back on 16th October, 2009. After the recommendation the appointment letter never came and the petitioner was made to run from one authority to another without any success. It was in this background the present writ application has come to be filed. There does not seem to be any dispute with regard to selection and recommendation in favour of the petitioner but inaction on the part of the respondents if not apathy seems to be the reason. Even in the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the State nothing is being offered by way of explanation as to why appointment of the petitioner is not being finally made despite - 2 - recommendation in her favour as well as communications which are available on record including the letter of District Programme Officer, Muzaffarpur. There is no explanation as to why the respondent i.e. the Child Development Project Officer is not willing to take cognizance of the recommendation and appoint the petitioner on the post. In absence of satisfactory explanation despite opportunity having been given, the reason is obviously extraneous and does not reflect well on the working of the State respondents. This writ application is disposed of with the direction upon respondent no.5 i.e. CDPO, Meenapur, Muzaffarpur that he will issue a letter of appointment in favour of the petitioner within a period of four weeks from the date of communication or production of a copy of this order. This writ application stands allowed. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
