IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2711 of 2010 1. ANITA KUMARI W/O SRI RANJEET KUMAR R/O VILL.- KHAIRA, P.S.- BEN, DISTT.- NALANDA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. DIRECTOR, SOCIAL WELFARE GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. COLLECTOR NALANDA 4. DISTRICT PROGRAMME OFFICER NALANDA 5. CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OFFICER, BIHARSHARIF SADAR, NALANDA 6. MUKHIA, GRAM PANCHAYAT RAJ KHAIRA WITHIN BEN BLOCK DISTT.- NALANDA ----------- 2. 24.08.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the orders dated 14.8.2009, 22.8.2009 terminating her services as Anganwari Sevika affirmed in appeal by the District Magistrate on 16.1.2010 in Misc. (Anganwari) Case No. 53 of 2009. Learned Counsel submits that before termination of her services no show cause notice was issued to her. He invites the attention of the Court to the appellate order at page 2 specifically raising the issue that the District Programme Officer did not issue any show cause notice and terminated her services without doing so. Learned Counsel for the State is unable to demonstrate any consideration of that plea in the discussion by the District Magistrate. The impugned orders of termination including the appellate orders are therefore not sustainable. They are accordingly set aside. The petitioner stands reinstated but without prejudice to the rights of the respondents to proceed afresh in accordance with law, if so advised. The writ application stands allowed.
