IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11902 of 2008 Sushma Gupta, wife of Shri Munmum Prasad Gupta, Indrapuri, ward No. 5, Nokha, PS Nokha, district Rohtas – Petitioner. Vs. 1) The State of Bihar, 2) The Principal Secretary, Welfare Department, Bihar, 3) The Director, Integrated Child Dev. Programme, Welfare Department, Bihar, Patna. 4) The Dist. Magistrate, Rohtas. 5) The Dist. Welfare Officer, Rohtas. 6) The Dist. Programme Officer, Rohtas. 7) The Child Dev. Project Officer, Nokha block, district Rohtas. 8) The B.D.O. Nokha Block, Rohtas. 9) Ward Member, Nagar Panchayat, Nokha Nagar Panchayat, Nokha Block, Rohtas. 10) Panchayat Secretary, Gram Panchayat Raj, Nokha Block, Rohtas – Respondents. 2 28.4.2011 The petitioner has challenged the cancellation of her appointment as Aanganbari Sevika of Ward Nos. 10 and 11 (New Ward No. 5), Nokha Block, Rohtas. The ground of challenge is that the District Programme Officer has cancelled the petitioner’s appointment. It is well settled by a decision of this court in the case of Prabha Kumari Devi vs. State of Bihar, 2010 (2) PLJR 374 that the District Magistrate has the power to consider a complaint and cancel the appointment of an Aanganbari Sevika where some anomaly is detected in the selection procedure. It is only with respect to the disciplinary proceeding that the District Programme Officer has been vested with some power. In the light of the aforesaid decision I direct that the District Programme Officer should send his recommendation to the District Magistrate, Rohtas along with the concerned records within one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The District Magistrate then shall call upon the 2 petitioner and after hearing her pass appropriate orders within a period of four months thereafter. I accordingly quash the order contained in Annexure 3 contained in memo no. 499, dated 19.7.2008. I make it clear that the petitioner will not be entitled to reinstatement as a result of the quashing of the order. This aspect can be considered after final orders are passed in this matter. It is further clarified that if no appointment is made till now, it should await till disposal of the complaint by the District Magistrate. This writ petition stands disposed of with the aforesaid observations. haque ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
