IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8715 of 2010 Smt.Minta Kumari wife of Sri Ranjeet Kumar, Resident of village Ghat Kushumbha P.S. Shekhpura Dist Shekhpura Versus 1. The State Of Bihar. 2. The District Magistrate, Shekhpura. 3. District Welfare Officer, Sheikhpura. 4. The Director, I.C.D.S. Bihar, Patna. 5. The Block Development Officer, Ghat Kushumbha, Sheikhpura. 6. The C.D.P.O., Ghat Kushumbha, Shikhupra. ----------- 3 29.04.2011 Petitioner has challenged the order of Director I.C.D.S dated 28.04.2008 contained in Annexure-2, by which her engagement as Anganbari Sevika, along with others, has been cancelled on the ground of lapses committed on the part of the petitioner in running the centre. The order is in clearly violation of Principal of Natural Justice and also under the Guidelines the Director has no powers to cancel the engagement of an Anganbari Sevika. The impugned order is, therefore, quashed, so far as it relates to the petitioner. Since the allegation against the petitioner is of lapses in running the centre, the District Programme Officer is directed to issue notice to the petitioner, with a copy of report, if any, which may 2 have been submitted against her, giving her opportunity to file a show cause within one month. After one month the District Programme Officer will hear the parties and pass appropriate order in accordance with law preferably, within a period of two months thereafter. This writ application is disposed of with the above observations and directions. Prakash ( J.N.Singh, J.)
