( 1 ) wp973.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 973 OF 2011 Indubai d/o. Vishwas Bhamble .. Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors. .. Respondents Shri C.K. Shinde, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri N.R. Shaikh, A.G.P. for respondent/State. CORAM : NARESH H. PATIL & S.V. GANGAPURWALA,JJ. DATED : 09.02.2011 ORDER [PER – S.V. GANGAPURWALA,J.] :­ 1. The petitioner vide present writ petition assails the order declaring the petitioner ineligible for the post of Anganwadi worker. 2. The petitioner had applied for the post of Anganwadi worker. The petitioner was declared ineligible on the ground that the age of the petitioner is less than the ( 2 ) wp973.11 prescribed age limit. 3. Shri Shinde, learned Counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner confirmed to the qualification as to age on the date of the application and it was erroneous on the part of the respondents to declare the petitioner ineligible. That is the only ground on which the petitioner is declared ineligible. No other ground can be taken into consideration. 4. The learned Assistant Government Pleader submitted that even the petitioner does not qualify as the petitioner is only 8th passed. As per the proclamation and as per the policy, the petitioner should have passed 10th standard. The petitioner, as such, is not eligible. Though the reason is stated that the age is less, but in­fact, the petitioner does not qualify with regard to the educational qualification. 5. As per the Government Resolution and as per the condition of the proclamation, a candidate is required to be 10th passed, to be eligible as Anganwadi worker. Admittedly, ( 3 ) wp973.11 the petitioner was only 8th passed. The petitioner was not qualified to apply inter alia not qualified to be appointed. 6. In light of the above, as the petitioner lacks the basic qualification, the case of the petitioner could not be considered. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed with no order as to costs.
