THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 1713 OF 2007 O R D E R: The petitioner challenges the action of the respondents, in not selecting and appointing her as Anganwadi Worker, consequent upon the interview held on 29.12.2006. The petitioner states that the 2nd respondent issued notiﬁcation, inviting applications for selection and appointment of candidates as Anganwadi Worker for Duttalur village and Mandal. She contends that interviews were held on 29.12.2006, but she was not issued interview call letter, and the 6th respondent was appointed, by excluding the petitioner from consideration. She states that interviews were conduced on 29.12.2006, in which the 6th respondent appeared, and though she did not fare well in the interview, the appointing authority had selected her. The respondents ﬁled a detailed counter aﬃdavit, admitting that the petitioner, 6th respondent and others applied for the post of Anganwadi Worker. It is stated that the petitioner was not issued interview call letter, on the ground that she did not possess the minimum age, viz 21 years. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Women and Child Welfare. The notiﬁcation issued by the appointing authority clearly discloses that a candidate must be within the age limit of 21 to 45 years, to be considered for appointment as Anganwadi Worker. It is not disputed that the petitioner was less than 21 years, as on the date of application, or conducting of interview. Therefore, the respondents were justiﬁed, in not sending interview call letter to her. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ 26th August 2008 PAN
