Respondents 2 05.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner has preferred this writ petition so that this Court may order for further enquiry into allegations of corruption and malfunctioning at few Anganwari Centres under Patna Sadar-1 in respect of distribution of supplement food for children and pregnant women. 2 Yesterday we considered similar prayer in another Public Interest Litigation and held that large number of writ petitions by way of Public Interest Litigations are filed seeking such enquiries and this is likely to obstruct public interest because either the officers will be conducting or facing inquiry into minor and vague allegations of malfunctioning. The matter would be different if a scam of big magnitude involving higher public or political authorities is brought to the notice of this Court. Hence, we are not inclined to interfere in the matter which contains only general and vague allegation of minor nature against working of few Anganwari Centres. The writ petition is disposed of with a liberty that if the petitioner has enough materials, he may choose to ventilate his grievance through an appropriate proceeding either of civil or criminal nature.
