THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.19647 of 2008 O R D E R: This Writ Petition has been instituted by Smt. P. Kasi Bai complaining that Respondents 1 to 4 have committed a grave error in appointing the 5th respondent herein as an Anganvadi worker for Bandam Bai Village of Dornala Mandal, Prakasam District as the 5th respondent belongs to Scheduled Caste community but not to Scheduled Tribe for which community the Anganvadi worker post for the concerned village was reserved. It is the case of the writ petitioner that she is a candidate belonging to Scheduled Tribes and that pursuant to the notification issued by the District Collector and Chair-Person, Prakasam District, she has applied for the post of Anganvadi Worker at Chilakacherla Village which was reserved for Scheduled Tribe category candidates and that through a communication dated 10.12.2006, she has been directed to attend the interview for the said post and accordingly, she was interviewed, but when the selections were finalized, it is the 5th respondent, who has been selected for appointment as an Anganvadi worker for the said Chilakacherla Village. Since the 5th respondent is not eligible to be appointed when Scheduled Tribe category candidates are available, like the petitioner, the selection and appointment of the 5th respondent was wrong. A counter-affidavit has been sworn to by Smt. K. Samrajyam, W/o Dr. S.Babu Basker working as Project Director, District Women and Child Development Agency, Ongole. Though the language used therein is mostly incoherent, but however, it can be made out from page 2 of the said counter affidavit that the writ petitioner has been issued with the orders of appointment as Anganvadi worker for Chilakacherla Village of which Badam Bhai Village is a hamlet and that the writ petitioner has also joined the said job. It was also mentioned that the selection and appointment of the 5th respondent earlier for the same village has been cancelled. In view of the statement contained in page 2 of the counter-affidavit that the writ petitioner has already been appointed as an Anganvadi worker for Chilakacherla Village, the cause in this Writ Petition does not survive any further. The Writ Petition is therefore, dismissed. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 24th June 2010 ksld
