IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1952 of 2009 SHAKUNTI DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 9.2.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by an order of appointment of respondent no.8 (Shyama Devi) on the post of Anganwari Sevika. Counsel for the petitioner submits that in keeping with the provisions of the guidelines pertaining to service conditions of Anganwari Sevika and its scheme the petitioner had already filed her representation by way of complaint to the Collector of the District but when nothing was heard from the Collector of the District she had filed her representation before the Commissioner of Bhagalpur Division whose office had sought for certain information in the subject matter of the complaint of the petitioner as would be apparent from the letter of the Secretary to the Commissioner dated 12.4.2008 (Annexure 4). He, however, submits that after this query of the office 2 of the Commissioner nothing has been done and therefore, the petitioner has been now left with no remedy but to approach this Court for the inaction on the part of the respondent Commissioner and the Collector of Bhagalpur. Counsel for the State, on the other hand, would point out that the petitioner had approached the Commissioner first and therefore, it appears that the Collector has not taken any decision. This Court without going into this aspect of the matter as to whether the petitioner had approached the competent authority, namely, the Collector of the District in the first instance or had straightway rushed to the Commissioner would give liberty to the petitioner even now to approach the Collector of Bhagalpur district by filing a fresh representation who thereafter will take a final decision not only after hearing the petitioner but also after hearing respondent no.8 whose appointment is assailed by the petitioner. Such decision must be taken within a period of three months from the date of filing of 3 the representation alongwith a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observation, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
