IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.17009 of 2007 SANJU KUMARI, wife of Pankaj Sah @ Pankaj Kumar Sah, resident of village and post Fullidumar, Via Kesar, P.S. Fullidumar, District Banka … Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The District Magistrate, Banka 3. The District Welfare Officer, Banka 4. The Sub-divisional Officer, Fullidumar, Banka 5. The Block Development Officer, Fullidumar, District Banka 6. The Child Development Project Officer, Fullidumar, District Banka 7. Kiran Devi, wife of Pawan Sah @ Pawan Kumar Sah, resident of village North Kojhi, Via Kesar, P.S. Fullidumar, District Banka … 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) For issuance of writ in the nature of mandamus to the respondents for appointment of the petitioner as an Anganwari Sevika under Gram Panchayat, Fullidumar, at Centre No.1, Dudhghatia. 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 2 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 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.7 and the representative of concerned Gram Panchayat. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
