IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.180 of 2008 SMT.UMA DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4 22.1.2009 KHAN In this writ petition the petitioner prays for quashing the letter dated 18.12.2007 by which a direction has been issued for lodging the F.I.R. against the Chairman and other members of the Selection Committee. It appears that pursuant to the aforesaid letter, a F.I.R. being Hilsa P.S. Case No.9 of 2008 dated 3.1.2008 under sections 467, 468, 420 of the Penal Code has been registered. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits the lodging of the instant case is misconceived as the guidelines in respect of irregularities and illegalities in making appointment of Aganwari Sevika provides appropriate measures. He further submits that the respondents instead of lodging the F.I.R. ought to have followed the recourse mentioned in the guide lines. It appears from the supplementary affidavit filed by the petitioner that the learned Magistrate has taken cognizance of the offence by order dated 30.7.2008. In this view of the matter, this writ petition has become infructuous and it is dismissed as such. However, the petitioner, if so advised, may file an appropriate application against the order taking cognizance. ( S.P.Singh,J) - 2 -
