Respondents. ----------- 2. 03.12.2009. Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “1. That by way of present writ petition the petitioner craves indulgence before this Hon’ble Court for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus and other appropriate writ/writs, direction/directions, order/orders for immediately commanding upon the respondent no. 2 to 6 to appoint the petitioner on the post of Anganbari Sevika in centre no. 4 Massi Chak Gram Panchayat Hawanpura P. S. and Block Rahui, District Nalanda in the light of the meeting held on 4.4.2007 under the Chairmanship of Mukhiya Gram 2 Panchayat Hawanpura and C.D.P.O Rahui also present and selected respondent no. 8 may be cancelled on the ground that she is out sider of the said Panchayat.” With reference to the aforementioned reliefs, counsel for the petitioner when asked as to whether the petitioner had moved the Collector of the District, he would fairly concede that the petitioner had not done so. In the opinion of this court, writ application in absence of moving the Prescribed Authority for looking into any anomaly in the selection/appointment on the post of Anganwari Sevika is premature, consequently, this writ application is dismissed. The dismissal of this writ application however will not prejudice the petitioner even now in his moving the Collector of the District who would decide the matter on merits and in the light of guidelines issued by the State Government on the subject. If such a representation is filed by the petitioner explaining her 3 grievance as with regard to selection and appointment of respondent no. 8 on the post of Anganwari Sevika in terms of circular of the State Government on the subject, the same shall be disposed of by the Collector of the District after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent no. 8 as also representative of Gram Panchayat in question by speaking order within a period of six months from the date of filing of such representation. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
