Samastipur (M), District Samastipur … Respondents. ----------- 2. 18.12.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows: “(i) To set aside the resolution no.5 of dated 23.6.2007 by which respondent no.8 of this writ application namely Rinku Kumari has been appointed as Anganbari Sevika for Anganbari Centre No. 85 at Chaknoor Panchayat, District Samastipur by the Committee in a meeting concluded in the Chairmanship of mukhiya Panchayat Samiti Chaknoor, District Samastipur. (ii) After quashing/ setting aside the resolution of selection of respondent no.8, named above, 2 further direct the respondents to appoint select the petitioner on the post of Anganbari Sevika at Anganbari Centre No. 85, Panchayat Bhawan Chaknoor Panchayat, Block and District Samastipur on the basis of merit list as appearing in the resolution of same day i.e. 23.6.2007 in which petitioner’s position is on top in the merit list. (iii) To restrain the respondent not to override on the provided guidelines/ rule and regulation and settled principle of law and further direct respondent not to harass the petitioner unnecessarily.” With reference to the aforementioned relief, 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 3 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 alongwith this order, will be disposed of 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.8 and the representative of concerned Gram Panchayat. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
