Petitioner was earlier appointed as Aanganwari Sewika. Her services have been terminated by the District Programme Officer, Lakhisarai under order bearing memo No. 108 dated 1.4.2009, Annexure-3, against which she has filed appeal/representation before the District Magistrate, Lakhisarai dated 14.5.2009, Annexure-4. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that, she having passed Class VIII was qualified for appointment as Aanganwari Sewika and considering her Class VIII certificate she was appointed as Aanganwari Sewika. The authorities however, terminated her appointment stating that she obtained appointment by showing forged matriculation certificate, which is wholly incorrect. Petitioner was appointed on the basis of Class VIII certificate, which according to the counsel for the petitioner is the minimum qualification for such appointment. Highlighting the aforesaid aspect of the matter, she has represented before the District Magistrate, Lakhisarai and the representation is dated 14.5.2009, Annexure-4. 4. Let the District Magistrate, Lakhisarai consider the representation of the petitioner as early as possible, in any case within - 2 - one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It goes without saying that if the District Magistrate is satisfied that the minimum qualification for appointment on the post of Aanganwari Sewika is Class-VIII then petitioner shall be again appointed on the same post. 4. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. Rajesh/ (V.N.Sinha, J.)
