IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14494 of 2007 Kiran Kumari, Wife of Sanjay Das, Resident of Village Babhandeo Tola, Kharaundhi, Anchal-Dobhi, Police Station Barachatti, District Gaya. ------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Director, Social Welfare Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The District Magistrate, Gaya. 4. The Child Development Project Officer, Dobhi, District Gaya. 5. The Mukhiya, Gram Panchayat-Kurmawan, District Gaya. 6. Indu Devi, Wife of Upendra Yadav, Resident of Village Jehaldih, Police Station Barachatti, District Gaya. ----- Respondents ----------- 2 18.12.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “1. That this is an application for issuance of an appropriate writ in the nature of mandamus direction to the Respondent to make selection of the petitioner on the post of Anganwari Sevika at Anganbari Centre, Kharaundhi in the District of Gaya and further direction to the Respondent to cancel the selection of Respondent No.6 whose selection/appointment as Anganwari Sevika has been made without following circular of 2 selection procedure of Anganwari Sevika and any other appropriate writ, order, direction save and except in accordance with law.” With reference to the aforementioned reliefs, counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner intends to move the Collector of the District by filing a compact representation. In the opinion of this court, recourse chosen by the petitioner seems to be correct inasmuch as the scheme for appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika itself envisages the redressal of grievance pertaining to selection/appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika in the first instance by the Collector of the District. That being so, this court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a compact representation which, if filed along with this order, will be disposed within the time limit fixed by the State Government in the Circular dated 10.12.2009 by a reasoned order after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent no. 6 and the representative of concerned gram panchayat. 3 With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of.
