IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13785 of 2007 Sangita Kumari, Wife of Shivendra Kumar Mahto, Resident of Village Simra, P.O. Srikant, P.S. Pear, District Muzaffarpur. ------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Collector, Muzaffarpur. 3. The District Welfare Officer, Muzaffarpur. 4. Block Development Officer cum Child Development Officer, Bandra, District Muzaffarpur. 5. The Child Development Project Officer, Bandra, P.S. Pear, District Muzaffarpur. 6. The Mukhiya, Gram Panchayat Raj, Simra, P.O. Simra, P.S. Simra, District Muzaffarpur. 7. Smt. Sushila Devi, Wife of Dinesh Prasad, Resident of Village Simra, Tola Bhanaktola, P.O. Srikant, Simra, Ward No.5, P.S. Pear, District Muzaffarpur. ------- Respondents ----------- 2 18.12.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “1. That the present writ application is being filed for issuance of an appropriate writ/writs, order/orders, directions/directions to the respondent state who has constituted a centre (posan area) for the post of Sewika in Anganbari situated under the jurisdiction of Simra police station pear, District Muzaffarpur, and consider the case of the petitioner who has 2 applied for Sewika in Anganbari.” With reference to the aforementioned reliefs, 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 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 along with this order, will be disposed 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 3 directions, this writ application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
