Bihta, District Patna … Respondents. ----------- 2. 17.12.2009 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows: “This is an application for issuance of an appropriate writ(s), order(s) direction(s) to the respondent authorities for consideration of appointment of Anganbari Sevika/ Sahika in view of the circular issued by the Welfare Department, Government of Bihar, vide letter no. 1129 dated 13th June, 1998 by which the procedure for selection of Anganbari Sevika 2 has been duly prescribed and communicated to all the respondents authorities and others by which the priority may be given Scheduled Caste/ Scheduled Tribes, Backward Class, Minority, General Class under rule 7 of the said circular but in Raj Parav Gram Panchayat in Parav village, District Patna, the Government circular no.1129 dated 13th June, 1998 has not followed and finally selected one Saroj Devi (respondent no.9) of other backward class candidate of Anganwari Sewika and Dharamshila Devi (respondent no.10) of other backward class candidate to the post of Anganwari Sevika of the said Raj Parav Gram Panchayat without beating drum to make a public demonstration and public meeting has been shown on paper only and as such the act of the respondents authorities deprived other candidate including the petitioner for the said post which is quite illegal, arbitrary malafide and against the law on well as in violation of circular no. 1129 dated 13th June, 1998.” From the reading of the writ application and the documents enclosed therewith it does not appear that the 3 petitioner has moved the prescribed authority by filing a representation against the selection/ appointment of respondent no.9. Annexure 1 in fact seems to be a representation addressed to the Secretary of the Welfare Department and a copy thereof has been given to the Collector of the district which would not be sufficient for the Collector to look into the aspect, inasmuch as the guidelines issued by the State Government only talks of filing of such representation before the Collector of the District. That being so, this application is misconceived and is dismissed accordingly. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
