IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.835 of 2008 SMT.MINTA KUMARI @ MINTA DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2/ 03/12/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner had represented on 8.8.2007 against the appointment of respondent No.7 on the post of Angan Bari Sevika before the District Magistrate who was competent to enquire into such matters prior to 25.7.2008 when this power has been vested in the District Programme Officer. The District Magistrate is, therefore, fully competent to examine the representation. Let him do so after hearing all concerned, including respondent No.7 by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, against which appeal lies before the Commissioner of the division. The application is disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
