Bahera, District Darbhanga….......................Respondents ----------- 2 25.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. Petitioner is aggrieved by appointment of respondent no.8 as Anganwari Sevika by ignoring her preferential claim on merits. It appears that the petitioner filed a complaint before the Collector which has been rejected by an order dated 15.12.2008, as contained in Annexure-8. Apparently, petitioner has not moved in appeal before the Commissioner against the said order of the Collector, a remedy 2 provided under the Guidelines. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to file an appeal before the Commissioner against the said order of the Collector within four weeks from today. If such an appeal is filed before the Commissioner, the same shall be considered on merits, notices shall be issued, parties shall be heard and thereafter appeal shall be decided in accordance with law within two months from the date of filing of the said appeal.
