WP(C) 6522/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY The petitioner craves liberty to implead the Director of Social Welfare Departme nt, Assam as party respondent No.6. The impleading is permitted to be incorporat ed by hand under signature of the learned counsel. The petitioner who was initially appointed as an Anganwadi Worker on 23. 12.2009 in the Sainashi Christian Basti Anganwadi Centre under Chaygaon ICDS Cel l challenges the appointment given on 6.8.2010 to respondent No.5 Smt. Baijayan ti Boro as an Anganwadi Worker of the said centre. The petitioner contends that the respondent No.5 is not a resident withi n the jurisdictional area of the centre and could not have been considered for a ppointment as an Anganwadi worker particularly when the inhabitants of the area are Garo speaking people and the respondent No.5 being non Garo, could not have effectively discharged any function as an Anganwadi worker of that centre. Mr. D.K. Sarma, learned Standing Counsel for the department submits that in view of the limited challenge made by the petitioner to the appointment of r espondent No.5, the Director of Social Welfare Department could be asked to make an enquiry into the residential status of the respondent No.5 and as to whether she was suitable to be appointed in the Sainashi Christian Basti Anganwadi Cent re which is stated to be inhabited by Garo speaking population. In view of above, instead of keeping this matter pending, I consider it appropriate to direct that an enquiry be made by the Director of Social Welfare Department into the complaint made against the respondent No.5. The necessary en quiry be made by affording an opportunity to the respondent No.5 as well as the petitioner. A speaking order may thereafter be passed. The petitioner is permitted to furnish a copy of this Court’s order and the writ petition to the respondent No.6 to enable him to take necessary steps t o comply with the Court’s order. The petition is disposed of accordingly.
