IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12813 of 2009 ANITA DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 07.10.2009 Leave is sought to implead the District Programme Officer as Respondent No. 9 to the writ application. The same is allowed. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the selection of Respondent No. 8 as Anganbari Sevika in preference to her. The submission is that notwithstanding the grievance raised, without considering her Respondent No. 8 has been given selection and sent for training. Learned counsel for the petitioner fairly acknowledges that the grievance of the petitioner before the District Magistrate had been duly forwarded to the District Programme Officer for appropriate action in accordance with law. In accordance with the amended guidelines of 2008, the District Programme Officer was competent to hold enquiry into the illegality of any appointment of Anganbari Sevika against which an appeal lies before the District Magistrate. The application is disposed with issuance of appropriate directions to the District Programme Officer 2 who shall decide the grievance of the petitioner after hearing all concerned including Respondent No. 8 by a reasoned and speaking order within a period of three months from the date of receipt of production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed off. Shageer (Navin Sinha, J)
