Petitioner and others, including private Respondent no.8, Punita Kumari were applicants for the post of Anganwari Sewika for Centre No. 10 which is situate within Shivpuri Gram Panchayat, Kishanpur Block in the district of Supaul. Ignoring the better claim of the petitioner as would appear from the panel prepared by the Aam Sabha contained in Annexure-1, private Respondent no.8, Punita Kumari was appointed in teeth of the prohibition contained in the Govt. circular that the Anganwari Sewika and Sahaika serving the centre should not be related to each other as in the present case Respondent no.8 and Sahaika serving the centre are related. Sahaika serving the Sahayika of the centre happens to be the mother-in-law of private Respondent no.8. 3. Petitioner assailed the appointment of private Respondent no.8 by filing petition before the District Magistrate, 2 Supaul, which is dated 5.7.2008 and other petitions contained in Annexure-5 series to this application on the basis of which reports were called for from the authorities below, but till date the petition of the petitioner dated 5.7.2008 and other petitions contained in Annexure-5 series have not yet been considered and disposed of. 4. Having heard counsel for the petitioner and the State, I direct the petitioner to appear before the District Magistrate, Supaul and produce a certified copy of this order before the District Magistrate, who should consider the submissions noted in this order and in the light thereof dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated 5.7.2008 and other representations contained in Annexure-5 series as early as possible, in any case within one month from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. 5.
