The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “1. That the petitioner has come up before this Hon’ble Court for issuance of appropriate writ/writs in the nature of mandamus commanding and directing the respondents to appoint the petitioner for the post of Anganbari Sevika in Centre No.1 (Bahadurpur) of Gram Panchayat 2 Harda in Block Purnea East in the District of Purnea, and quash the appointment of Respondent no.11 on the post of Anganbari Sevika.” With reference to the aforementioned reliefs, counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner intends to move the Collector of the District by filing a compact representation. In the opinion of this court, recourse chosen by the petitioner seems to be correct inasmuch as the scheme for appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika itself envisages the redressal of grievance pertaining to selection/appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika in the first instance by the Collector of the District. That being so, this court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a compact representation which, if filed along with this order, will be disposed within the time limit fixed by the State Government in the Circular dated 10.12.2009 by a reasoned order after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent no. 11 and the representative of concerned gram panchayat. 3 With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of.
