IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11993 of 2007 Sarojnee Devi, Daughter of Ram Charitar Das, Wife of Surendra Das, Resident of Village Morawara, Post Office Morawara Via Singhiya, Police Station Singhiya, District Samastipur. ------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Director, Social Welfare Department, Bihar at Patna. 3. The District Officer, Samastipur. 4. The District Welfare Officer, Samastipur. 5. The Chief Development Project Officer, Singhiya, District Samastipur. 6. The Mukhiya Gram Panchayat Singhiya, P.S. Singhiya, District Samastipur. 7. Mamta Devi, Wife of Santosh Singh, Resident of Village Morewara, P.O. Morawara Via Singhiya, P.S. Singhiya, District Samastipur. ------- Respondents ----------- 2 17.12.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “1(i) For the issuance of an appropriate writ/direction to the Respondents to appoint the petitioner as Angan Bari Sevika for Angan Bari Kendra Sahani Tola situated within Gram Panchayat Singhiya in the District of Samastipur. (ii) For the issuance of an appropriate writ/direction to the Respondents “to cancel the selection Angan Bari Sevika” Respondent No.-17 for the Angan Bari Kendra Sahani Tola specially when a candidate from Backward Kota was available and the appointment/selection has been made from General Kota.” With reference to the aforementioned 2 reliefs, learned counsel for the petitioner at the outset would very fairly submit that he is not aware to the present position, inasmuch as, nothing has been communicated to him on the representation submitted by the petitioner on 23.5.2007 by registered post. This Court would find that the petitioner, as a matter of fact, had not submitted any representation directly to the Collector of the district rather a copy of the representation addressed to the Sub- /Divisional Officer, Samastipur was sent to the Collector of the district. Such representation could not have been considered by the Collector who is the prescribed authority under the guidelines issued for appointment on the post of Anganwari Sevika. That being so, the petitioner is given liberty to approach the Collector of the district by filing a compact representation and thereafter, the Collector of the district would proceed to pass a final order after extending opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and respondent no.7 as also the representative of the concerned Gram Panchayat 3 within the time frame fixed by the State Government in its recent Circular dated 10.12.2009. It goes without saying that if during pendency of this writ application either grievance of the petitioner has been redressed or considered and yet rejected, the petitioner will have a remedy as is available to her in law.
