THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The District Magistrate, Madhubani 3. The District Welfare Officer, Madhubani 4. The Block Development Officer, Madhepur, Madhubani 5. The Child Development Project Officer, Madhepur, Madhubani 6. The Supervisor, Child Development Project, Madhupur, Madhubani 7. Mukhiya, Gram Panchayat Raj Mahisam, Block and P.S. Madhepur, District Madhubani … Respondents. ----------- 2. 17.12.2009 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows: “This writ application is being filed for issuance of an appropriate writ/writs order or orders in the nature of mandamus for directing and commanding the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment on the post of Anganwari Sevika for Ward No.11 under Gram Panchayat Raj Mahisam forthwith and further for a direction to the respondents to give all legal and consequential benefits flowing from the said post at least from the date person junior to the petitioner have been given by the respondent authorities and further for any other 2 appropriate relief or reliefs for which the petitioner is entitled in the facts and circumstances of the case.” From the writ application it would transpire that the petitioner has claimed to have filed a representation dated 4.6.2007 but no order was passed thereon, whereafter the petitioner has filed this writ application on 21.9.2007. In the opinion of this Court once the State Government has delegated the power to the Collector of the District to look into the anomalies in the selection/ appointment on the post of Anganwari Sevika the Collector of the District cannot keep the representation filed for this purpose by an aggrieved person pending for indefinite period. That being so, now when the State Government has also fixed a firm time limit for disposal of such grievance by the Collector and the consequential appeal by the Commissioner of the Division vide Government circular dated 10.12.2009, this Court would give liberty to the petitioner 3 to file a fresh representation and in the event such a representation is filed the same has to be disposed of within the time frame fixed by the State Government in its circular dated 10.12.2009. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
