The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “That this is an application for issuance of an appropriate writ in the nature of Mandamus direction to the Respondents to appoint the petitioner as Anganbari Sevika at Centre No.2, Shiv Mandir Purab Tola Ghailarh in the District of Madhepura and further for a direction to the Respondent no.5 to produce the relevant records of appointment/selection letter of the Respondent No.7 who has been appointed as the Anganwari Sevika of said Centre No.2, Shiv Mandir Purab Tola, Ghailarh and to direct them to cancel the appointment/Selection of the Respondent no.7 as it has been done in complete violation of the prescribed procedure save and except in accordance with law.” 2 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 of 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.7 and the representative of the concerned gram panchayat. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. Abhay Kumar (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
