Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that though the said order was in the case of only 23 petitioners, notices were 2 issued to others also including these petitioners to which they have replied. However, the District Magistrate has passed order in respect of those 23 petitioners only which is Annexure-4 to the writ application in which he admits the cases of other Anganwari Sevikas as still pending with him. In the circumstances, the writ application is disposed of with a direction to the District Magistrate, Arwal to consider the show cause reply filed by the petitioners and pass specific orders in accordance with law in respect of their engagement also. The orders should be passed preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Arvind/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
