IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3427 of 2009 SMT.MINA KUMARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 23.3.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. From Annexure 5 to the writ application it would be clear that the petitioner has repeatedly moved the Collector of Saran District as with regard to appointment/ engagement as Anganwari Sevika. Since the Collector of the district is the competent authority under the scheme framed by the State Government, the grievance of the petitioner has to be in the first place adjudicated by such authority, namely, the Collector of the district. That being so, this Court would direct the Collector of Saran district to consider the grievance of the petitioner and take an appropriate decision within a period of four months from the date of filing of the representation by the petitioner. It is, however, made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the claim of the petitioner and therefore, it will be open for the 2 Collector to pass any appropriate order in accordance with law. This application stands disposed of with the aforementioned observation. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
