The C.D.P.O. held enquiry and submitted report vide Annexure-3 to the District Welfare Officer in favour of the petitioner. The District Welfare Officer, thereafter, referred the representation of the petitioner to the Director, I.C.D.S. along with the report submitted by the C.D.P.O., copies whereof are Annexures-4 and 2 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that till now the Director, I.C.D.S. has not considered the matter and has not taken any final decision on the basis of the report of the C.D.P.O. and the recommendation of the District Welfare Officer. In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the Director, I.C.D.S. to take up the matter of cancellation of Anganbari Centre of the petitioner, examine the records, report and recommendation submitted by the lower authorities and shall also hear the petitioner, if necessary, and thereafter shall pass orders in accordance with law. In case, he finds that the cancellation of Centre of the petitioner was not justified, he will issue orders for reinstatement of the petitioner on the Centre as Anganbari Sevak. In case, he finds that in law he is not now authorized to pass orders, he shall refer the matter to the competent authority, i.e. the Collector with the entire records, with a request to him to hear the parties and pass orders on the basis of materials available on 3 record, as expeditiously as possible. The Director, I.C.D.S. or the Collector, upon receipt of a copy of this order or upon receipt of the records, as the case may be, shall decide the matter preferably within the time fixed in the guidelines for hearing appeals.
