The Anganwadi is operated and maintained by the fifth respondent under the Integrated Child Development Project (ICDS) of the first respondent. According to the petitioner she has been working continuously for the past 1 ½ years. However, she is proposed to be disengaged by the fifth respondent. She claims that she is entitled to continue until the completion of the project. Therefore, she seeks the issue of appropriate directions against terminating her services. The petitioner has submitted Ext.P2 representation for the issue of appropriate orders permitting her to continue. The same is pending consideration of the seventh respondent. She seeks the issue of appropriate directions for consideration of Ext.P2. 2. I have heard the learned Govt. Pleader also. 3. In view of the limited relief that is claimed, I am of opinion that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the seventh respondent to consider Ext.P2. WPC 28199/2011 2 4.
