CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OFFICER, DINARA, ROHTAS ----------- 2 08.04.2011 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the District Progromme Officer by order dated 08.10.2009, as contained in Annexure-2, cancelled the selection of the erstwhile Anganwari Sevika on the ground of irregularities committed by her in running the centre. He submits that inspite of the same no fresh appointment has been made for the centre. Petitioner is a villager and in public interest he wants that appointment of a regular Anganwari Sevika should be made for the centre. In this regard, it is pointed out that the petitioner has filed representation before the Collector in December, 2009 itself, a copy whereof is Annexure-3 with no result. 2 The writ application was filed on 23.09.2010 with service of two copies of the same in the office of learned Advocate General. However, no counter affidavit has been filed as yet. Learned counsel for the petitioner is correct in his submission that the post of Anganwari Sevika for the centre cannot remain vacant and in the interest of the beneficiaries the appointment should be made as early as possible. In the circumstances, this Court directs the Collector, Rohtas to look into the matter and take appropriate steps for regular appointment of Anganwari Sevika for the centre in accordance with law as soon as possible. The writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Arvind/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
