KATRIAR ORAL ORDER (Per : HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 2. 22.07.2010. This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India has been filed in public interest to challenge the demarcating of the areas for appointment - 2 - and functioning of Anganbari Sevika for Vijay Nagar Anganbari Centre. According to the petitioner, demarcating has not been properly made and certain areas which ought to have been included under Vijay Nagar Anganbari Centre have been left out. The concerned person has committed irregularities in noting down the number of residents within each Anganbari Centre. Learned Advocate Mr Raj Kumar Chaudhary has appeared for the petitioner. He has not been able to satisfy us that any prejudice has been caused to any of the families within the area or any of the families has been left out from inclusion in one of the Anganbari Centres. Demarcating a particular area for a purpose is purely a governmental function. The petition in the form of Public Interest Litigation is not maintainable. The petition is dismissed in limine.
