CWP (T) No. 3788/2008 (OA No. 1439/96) 23.04.2009 Present: Mr. J. L. Bhardwaj, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Vivek Thakur, Additional Advocate General, for the respondents. The petitioner has assailed the impugned order dated 7.8.1996 which reads as under: “..Sub:- Regarding appointment on the post of Anganwari Worker. Memo: On the aforesaid subject, the complaint made against you has been enquired by the undersigned and it has been found that your husband is volunteer teacher. The action on the aforesaid case is still awaited from the Directorate. Therefore, it is ordered that till the decision is not taken on the case of your selection as Anganwari Worker, you should not work in the Centre and handover the entire charge to the Assistant of the Centre. Sd/- Child Development Project Officer, Kunihar at Arki, Distt. Solan..” On 1.10.1996, the operation of the aforesaid order was stayed in the present petition. The petitioner has been continuing to enjoy the same and working as Anganwari Worker since then. The only grievance made out by the petitioner, is that the impugned order was passed without conducting any inquiry. The respondents in their return, have stated that the petitioner’s husband is in government service and, hence, an inquiry was initiated against the petitioner and as such, during the inquiry she was asked to hand over the charge of the Centre. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner has been continuing to work as an Anganwari Worker under the orders passed by the erstwhile Administrative Tribunal in O.A. No. 1439/96, interest of justice would be met if direction is issued to the respondents to immediately conclude the inquiry, by associating the petitioner, in accordance with Law within a period up to 31st June, 2009. Till then, the respondents shall not take over the charge from the petitioner. With the aforesaid observations, the present petition stands disposed of. (Sanjay Karol) Judge. April 23, 2009. Bhupender
