Rajapakar, District Vaishali. ------ Respondents. ----------- 2 14.10.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.C. to S.C. 17 for the State and its functionaries. The petitioner is aggrieved by the appointment of the private respondent no. 10, Smt. Ganga Devi, to the post of Anganwari Sevika in Anganwari Centre No. 90 of Village Bakunthpur, Block Rajapakar, District Vaishali. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though the appointment is of the year 2007 but she was only able to get the relevant documents from the respondents in the year 2011 and thus was prevented from moving in time before any authority or 2 even this Court. Learned counsel for the respondent State on the other hand points out that the petitioner has an alternate remedy in as much as she can move before the District Magistrate, Vaishali pointing out the discrepancies and who is competent to pass appropriate orders. To this learned counsel for the petitioner submits that because of the passage of time, the same may not be heard on merit. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that as alleged by the petitioner, there have been grave discrepancies and violations of the existing guidelines and norms with regard to such appointment, this Court feels that the petitioner’s grievances must be considered on merits by the Collector, Vaishali. If the petitioner files an appropriate representation bringing all the facts before the Collector, Vaishali alongwith a copy of this order within two months from today, the Collector, Vaishali shall be obliged to pass an appropriate and 3 reasoned order after hearing all the parties concerned within the next two months thereafter. With the aforementioned directions, the writ petition stands disposed off. Sanjay (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
