RESPONDENTS. ----------- 02/ 04.01.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel appearing for the State. Petitioner’s claim is that she was appointed on the post of ANM (R) in Primary Health Centre, Thurthari, Chandi of Sub-centre Kuel Bigha, Nalanda for one year. It was a purely contractual appointment for a fixed period of one year. After expiry of that period she was not re- appointed on the same post. The reason for filing this writ application is that another ANM Sanju Kumari was re- appointed but the petitioner was not re-appointed. I do not find any reason for interference in the matter as it was a purely contractual appointment for a fixed period. Till the period continued petitioner was retained. - 2 - After its expiry if the period of appointment is not enhanced this can not be a reason for filing the writ application. However, petitioner has filed a representation before the Civil Surgeon, Nalanda, she has liberty to pursue it. This application is dismissed. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
