Tilothu, P.O. Bhadokhara, District Rohtas at Sasaram. ----------- 3 18/12/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “(i)For issuance of appropriate writ in the nature of mandamus for directing the respondents to select the petitioner for the post of Anganbari Sevika as she was the most suitable candidate among the total number of candidates applied for but inspite of objection raised by the petitioner, the name of respondent no.8 was selected without deciding the objection raised before Aam Sabha. (ii)For issuance of appropriate writ in the nature of mandamus for directing the respondent to now allow the respondent no.8 to continue to work as Anganbari Sevika as her name was selected without following the guidelines of anganbari Sevika.” With reference to the aforementioned reliefs, 2 counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner intends to move the Collector of the District by filing a compact representation. In the opinion of this Court, recourse chosen by the petitioner seems to be correct inasmuch as the scheme for appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika itself envisages the redressal of grievance pertaining to selection/appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika in the first instance by the Collector of the District. That being so, this Court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a compact representation which, if filed along with this order, will be disposed of within the time limit fixed by the State Government in the Circular dated 10.12.2009 by a reasoned order after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent no.8 and the representative of the concerned gram panchayat. With the aforementioned observations and directions this writ application is disposed of. Abhay Kumar (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
