Patna. -------- 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:- “1(i) For issuance of direction commanding Respondent No.8, the Child Development Project Officer, Andari (W), Patna to produce the appointment letter of Respondent No.11, Smt. Geeta Devi appointed to the post of Aganwari Sevika for Aganwari Center No.203 situated in Tola Andari(W) under Village Andari, Grampanchayat Fathua, District Patna. 2 (ii) For quashing of the appointment letter of Respondent No.11, Smt. Geeta Devi, which was made without following the rule and norms and violating the resolution of Aam Sabha and the Selection Committee as provided by the Govt. letters and circulars. (iii) For issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing Respondent No.8 the Child Development Project Officer to issue appointment letter in favour of the petitioner to the post of Aganwari Sevika for Aganwari Centre No.203 situated in Tola Andari West under Village Andari, Grampanchayat Fathua, District Patna.” 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 3 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. 11 and the representative of concerned gram panchayat. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
