THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.9552 of 2011 ORDER: Steps were initiated for appointment of Village Coordinator for Peddakomatipalli Village of Mogullapally Mandal, Warangal District, under the Saakshara Bharat Scheme. The petitioner and certain others applied. It is stated that the petitioner was selected by the Committee constituted under G.O.Ms.No.203, Education Department, dated 13.04.2010. The grievance of the petitioner is that she is not being given orders of appointment by the 4th respondent. The 3rd respondent – Mandal Parishad Development Officer filed counter-affidavit. It is stated that the petitioner and one Smt.Madhavi submitted applications and though Madhavi got 295 marks and the petitioner got 270 marks, the latter was selected, obviously because she happened to be the wife of the brother of Sarpanch, Chairman of the Committee. The 3rd respondent further stated that being the Controlling Authoirty, he examined the matter, and suggested that the petitioner be not appointed, since already a candidate belongs to scheduled caste community was working as Village Coordinator. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. The procedure to be followed for appointment of Coordinators at various levels is prescribed under G.O.Ms.No.203, dated 13.04.2010. The Village Coordinators are to be selected by a Committee, containing Sarpanch, Head Master of the School in the Village, President of Village Organisation and Panchayat Secretary. It is no doubt true that the Committee constituted in accordance with the G.O., examined the matter and selected the petitioner. The fact, however, remains that the petitioner was none other than the wife of the brother of the Sarpanch, who headed the Committee. Being the Controlling Authority, the 3rd respondent raised objection for this. Further, the G.O., mandates that the social equilibrium must also be maintained in appointing the Village Coordinator and representation must be ensued for various categories. Out of the two Coordinators, one is already said to be from S.C. category. The petitioner is from the same category. On account of the presence of the Sarpanch in the Committee, the selection of the petitioner is vitiated. The term of the Sarpanch had expired recently. A different set of members would come into existence. This Court is of the view that the selection process for the post of Coordinators for the village in question can be considered afresh. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that the Committee for selection of Village Coordinators under Saakshara Bharat Scheme for Peddakomatipally Village, shall consider the matter afresh and take necessary steps in accordance with law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:30.08.2011 GJ
