IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14438 of 2007 Poonam Devi, Wife of Ajay Kumar Yadav, Resident of Village Tonah Israin Johad Tola Ward no.3, P.O. Bhatgama, P.S. Bhargama, District Araria. ------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Commissioner, Purnea Division, Purnea. 3. The District Magistrate, Araria. 4. The Deputy Development Commissioner, Araria. 5. The Sub-Divisional Officer, Araria. 6. The District Welfare, Officer, Araria. 7. The Child Development Project Officer, Bhargama, Araria. 8. The Block Development Officer, Bhargana, Araria. 9. Bharti Devi, Wife of Sunil Yadav, Resident of Village Tonah Israin Johad Tola, Ward no.3, P.O. Bhatgama, P.S. Bhargama, District Araria. ----- Respondents ----------- 4 18.12.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State as also counsel for the respondent no.9. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “1(A) To direct the respondents to cancel the Selection of respondent no.9 who has been illegally selected and appointed to the post of Anganbari Sevika in Santhal Mushari Tola Tonah Israin, ignoring the rightful claim of the petitioner. (B) To direct the respondents for Selection and appoint the petitioner in place of respondent no.9 to the post of 2 Anganbari Sevika in Santhal Mushari Tola, Tonah Israin under Dhaneshri Gram Panchayat in the District of Araria.” With reference to the aforementioned reliefs, counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner intends to move the Collector of the District by filing a compact representation. In the opinion of this court, recourse chosen by the petitioner seems to be correct inasmuch as the scheme for appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika itself envisages the redressal of grievance pertaining to selection/appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika in the first instance by the Collector of the District. That being so, this court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a compact representation which, if filed along with this order, will be disposed within the time limit fixed by the State Government in the Circular dated 10.12.2009 by a reasoned order after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent no. 9 and the representative of concerned gram panchayat. 3 With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of.
