Sarairanjan, District- Samastipur. … Respondents. ----------- 2. 18.12.2009. Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “i) for commanding the concerned respondents to produce before this Hon’ble Court the entire records pertaining to the selection of Anganwari Sevika in respect of Centre No. 1 of Sarairanjan (West) Gram Panchayat made in the meeting of the Aam Sabha of the said Gram Panchayat on 12.1.2006 including the selection list and also consequential appointment order, if any, issued in favour of the Anita Kumari (respondent no. 13) in 2 respect to the said post and to quash the same. (ii) for further commanding the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for her appointment as Anganwari Sevika in respect to the aforementioned centre and to appoint her as such in the facts and circumstances of the case fully enumerated hereinbelow.” 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 3 Circular dated 10.12.2009 by a reasoned order after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent no. 13 and the representative of concerned gram panchayat. The apprehension of the petitioner that since counter affidavit has been filed also on behalf of the Collector of Samastipur district and he may therefore be influenced by the stand taken in the counter affidavit, seems to be misconceived inasmuch as whenever a representation filed by the petitioner would be disposed of by the Collector he will have to deal with and the decide the issues by a reasoned order recording his findings on the averments made in the representation of the petitioner in the light of guidelines issued by the State Government on the subject of mode of selection and appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika/Sahayika. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
