WP(C) 6482/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY Ms. P. Chakraborty, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents 1 & 2 submits that respondent No.3 is unnecessarily arrayed in the present proceeding . Accordingly Mr. A.M. Majumder, learned Senior Counsel submits that the petitio ners be permitted to delete them from the list of respondents. Prayer allowed. D eletion may be carried out by hand under signature of the learned counsel for th e petitioners. The petitioners are Anganwadi workers serving for 10 years or more in different centres of Dhubri district. They are aggrieved by non-consideration of their pro motion to the post of Supervisor against the 25% vacancies of supervisors, meant to be filled up through promotion of eligible Anganwadi workers. Mr. A.M. Majumder refers to the Court’s decision dated 16.8.2004 in WP(C) 4932/2 004 and other cases where the Court had directed consideration of Anganwadi work ers for promotion against the quota earmarked for them, in the vacancies of supe rvisors. Ms. Chakraborty is aware of the earlier decisions and submits that direction be given to the Director of Social Welfare to consider the grievances of the petiti oners and to take necessary steps for considering their promotion in light of th e existing policy and also the earlier direction given by the Court on 16.8.2004 in WP(C) 4932/2004 and other such cases. It is not in dispute that 25% of the vacancies of supervisors are meant to be fi lled up through promotion of eligible Anganwadi workers. It is also seen that th e petitioners are serving since long as Anganwadi workers without being consider ed for promotion to the higher post. Accordingly having regard to the submissions made and the judgment(s) of this Co urt rendered in earlier cases, I dispose of this petition by directing that when ever an exercise is taken up to fill up the post(s) of Supervisors, the State mu st consider and fill up 25% of the available vacancies as per the existing norms , by considering promotion of eligible Anganwadi workers. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction.
