SAHEBPUR KAMAL PANCHAYAT-SAHEBPUR KAMAL, DISTRICT- BEGUSARAI. ………… RESPONDENTS ----------- 2. 08/04/2011 Petitioner has challenged newspaper notice, as contained in Annexure-1, by which it was notified that engagement of concerned Anganbari Sevikas has been cancelled by the Director, I.C.D.S. Petitioner has also challenged subsequent communication of the C.D.P.O. dated 24.1.2008, as contained in Annexure-2, by which she was intimated about the said order of the Director, I.C.D.S. Contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that under the Guidelines the Director, I.C.D.S. has no powers to cancel the engagement of Anganbari Sevika on the ground of any allegation. He also submits that the orders have been passed without affording any 2 opportunity to the petitioner to show cause in the matter. This writ application was filed on 14.5.2010 with service of two copies of the same in the office of the learned Advocate General. However, till today, no counter affidavit has been filed. There is nothing on record to show that any opportunity was afforded to the petitioner before cancellation of her engagement as Anganbari Sevika on the ground of irregularities committed by her. There is also no denial of the submission of the petitioner that under the Guidelines, the Director, I.C.D.S. has no power to cancel the engagement of Anganbari Sevika on the basis of any allegations. In the circumstances, the said newspaper notice, as contained in Annexure-1 and the communication of the C.D.P.O., as contained in Annexure-2, are quashed. However, since the petitioner has already filed representation before the Collector, Begusarai on 19.5.2008, as contained in Annexure-7, the Collector is directed to consider the same and after hearing the parties, pass appropriate orders as he may think fit and proper.
