Madhulata Kumari, w/o Ramjewan Kumar, village Bhorha, P. O. Balhampur, P. S. Simri Bakhtiarpur, Block Simri Bakhtiarpur, district Saharsa. … Respondents ----------- 2. 18.12.2009. Heard counsel for the petitioner, and counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “a) To issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ or writs, direction or direction commanding upon the respondent authorities to select the petitioner as Anganbari Sevika of Anganbari Centre situated at Yadav Tola Bhorha Ward No. 8 after cancelling the selection of respondent no. 9 who has illegally been selected as respondent no. 9 is at second no. in the merit list 2 and also does not come from Poshak Kshetra of the anganbari centre Yadav Tola Bharha Ward No. 8 which is mandatory for the selection as Angabari Sevika.” 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 3 representative of concerned gram panchayat. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
