THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU Tuesday, 23rd day of October,2007 W.P.No.9000 of 2007 Between:- Smt. Nagendramma … Petitioner and The District Collector-cum-Chairman, District Selection Committee of Anganwadi Worker/Helper, Prakasam District at Ongole and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.9000 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of respondents 1 to 3 in selecting the 4th respondent as Anganwadi Worker of Kalluru village, Kurichedu Mandal of Prakasam District as arbitrary and illegal and consequently to direct the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment as Anganwadi Worker in respect of Kalluru village, Kurichedu Mandal. According to the petitioner, herself and the 4th respondent applied for the post of Anganwadi Worker of Kalluru village, Kurichedu Mandal. Though she is fully qualified and eligible for being appointed to the said post, 4th respondent is sought to be appointed. The case of the petitioner is that the 4th respondent is not the resident of Kalluru village, Kurichedu Mandal and, therefore, she does not satisfy the basic criterion for selection to the post of Anganwadi Worker. A counter is filed by the 4th respondent stating that no selections have been finalized against the post of Anganwadi Worker of Kalluru village, Kurichedu Mandal, Prakasam District as of now. Even before the results were declared and appointments were made, petitioner approached this Court by way of present Writ Petition and obtained an interim order of stay of appointment of the 4th respondent pending disposal of the Writ Petition. It appears, as of now, neither selection has been finalized nor anybody is appointed, including the 4th respondent, in the post of Anganwadi Worker of Kalluru village, Kurichedu Mandal. The Writ Petition is filed only on mere apprehension that the 4th respondent is going to be appointed, though she is not a resident of Kalluru village and is not eligible for being appointed as Anganwadi Worker of the said village. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct respondents 1 to 3 to consider the claims of the petitioner as well as the 4th respondent for appointment to the post of Anganwadi Worker of Kalluru village, Kurichedu Mandal, Prakasam District and pass appropriate orders, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order and communicate the same to the parties. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. 23-10-2007 Office to furnish CC within a week (B.O.) prk
