WP(C) 1158/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA The matter relates to appointment of Anganwadi Worker in 207 Dolapar An ganwadi Centre under Agomoni ICDS Project for which the petitioner was an aspira nt. According to the petitioner in the select list published on 20.11.2009, the respondent No. 6 was shown selected showing her Roll No. 725 although she did no t appear in the selection. She appeared in another selection pertaining to Daspa ra 206 Anganwadi Centre and her Roll No. was 731. According to the petitioner th e respondent No. 6 is a resident of Daspara 206 Anganwadi Centre. Allegation of the petitioner is that the official respondents have selected the respondent No . 6 on extraneous consideration. As usual, there is no response from the Social Welfare Department. Neith er any counter affidavit has been filed not the learned Standing counsel, SWD ha s been furnished with any instruction. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of directing the Com missioner and Secretary to the Govt. of Assam in the SWD to take on record the g rievance of the petitioner and to dispose of the same by a speaking order after taking into account all the relevant aspect of the matter. However, no adverse o rder shall be passed against the respondent No. 6 without affording the opportun ity of being heard. Let the entire exercise shall be carried out as expeditiously as possibl e, but at any rate, not later than 31.08.2011. The petitioner may obtain the cer tified copy of this order and furnish the same before the said Commissioner & Se cretary alongwith a copy of this writ petition and its enclosures. Before parting with the case record, it is placed on record that it has been the experience of this Court that in the writ petitions pertaining to Socia l Welfare Department in most of the cases no response is shown making it difficu lt for the Court to arrive at a decision. The Commissioner and Secretary to the Govt. of Assam in the Social Welfare Department shall ensure filing of affidavit in opposition and production of relevant records in the writ petitions. He may issue necessary direction in this regard to all concerned. Failure to respond th e Court’s proceedings will be viewed seriously which may even entail departmenta l proceeding. Let a copy of this order be furnished to Ms. P. Chokraborty, learned Sta nding counsel, SWD for her onward transmission to the Commissioner and Secretary to the Govt. of Assam, SWD.
