PIL 124/2007 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE T. VAIPHEI The grievance of the petitioner is that three Anganwadi Centres in respect of wh ich advertisements were issued for recruitment of Anganwadi Worker and Helper do not exist. It is stated that the Centre called Alipur-1, as mentioned in the advertisement dated 7/9/2007, does not exist. The admitted position is that the respondents have stated with reference to Alip ur-1 that it was a mistake and no recruitment has been made in respect of that C entre. Nothing, therefore, survives as far as this grievance is concerned. The other grievance of the petitioner is that two Centres being Banskandi Puran Bazar and Akshaybasti near Durgabari as mentioned in the advertisement dated 7/9 /2007 do not exist. Respondent No. 2 has filed an affidavit in opposition in which it is categorical ly stated that the proposal for creating the aforesaid two centers was sent to t he Government of Assam by the Programme Officer at Silchar on 29/4/2007. Thereaf ter on 10/8/2007, the Government of Assam accorded sanction to these Centres. Th e said respondent has annexed, along with the affidavit in opposition, the neces sary documents in support of the averment. In the affidavit in reply, the petitioner has taken a completely new stand which is to the effect that there is no place by the name Banskandi Puran Bazar and A kshaybasti near Durgabari. Such a stand was not taken in the petition and it is clearly an attempt to somehow scuttle the process of recruitment of Anganwadi Wo rkers and Helpers in these two Centres. The fact of the matter remains that the Centres by whatever name they are called , actually exist. This is also clear from the documents annexed by the responden ts in their affidavit in opposition. Under the circumstances, we find no merit in the public interest litigation whic h is accordingly dismissed.
