IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15626 of 2007 RANJU KUMARI, wife of Sri Dinesh Kumar Roy, resident of village Lalpura, P.O. Sakiauta, P.S. Bhagwanpur, District Hajipur (Vaishali) … Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Director, I.C.D.S., Govt. of Bihar, Patna 3. The District Magistrate, Vaishali 4. The Child Development Officer, Lalganj, Vaishali 5. The District Welfare Officer, Hajipur, Vaishali 6. The Mukhiya, Purainia Panchayat, Lalganj, Vaishali 7. Anita Kumari, wife of Nakul Prasad Rai, resident of village Lalpura, P.O. Sakhiauta, District Vaishali … 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: “This is an application for issuance of order/ direction to follow the provision of Government under Samekit Bal Vikash Seva Yojna (Annexure 1) and select the petitioner who fully covered under stipulated provision (as No.1 candidate in the select list) Annexure 1/A and to quash selection of respondent no.7 (Annexure 2)/ null and void of Barauna Lalpura Centre under Purainia Panchayat Lalganj, Vaishali.” With reference to the aforementioned relief, counsel for the petitioner would submit that a 2 representation for the same relief was filed by the petitioner before the Collector of Vaishali district but no order has been passed thereon till date. In the opinion of this Court, once the Government has provided in the Scheme for appointment on the post of Anganwari Sevika that any issue relating to selection/ appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika in the first instance has to be looked into and decided by the Collector of the District, the representation filed by the petitioner for this purpose ought to have been disposed of. That having not been done, this Court would direct the Collector of Vaishali District to dispose of the representation of the petitioner, as contained in Annexure 4/C, by a reasoned order within the time frame now prescribed by the State Government in the latest circular dated 10.12.2009, of course after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent no. 7 as also representative of concerned Gram Panchayat. In order to expedite the matter, this Court would also direct the petitioner 3 to produce this order alongwith a copy of her earlier representation before the Collector of the District. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
