The case of Neelam Ranjan is that she has highest marks and is a resident of the area in which the centre is situated. On behalf of the petitioner, it has been submitted that respondent no. 7 is not a resident of the village in accordance with the mapping conditions laid down in the guidelines of 2006 and as such she cannot be appointed on the post of Anganwari Sevika. The District Magistrate, Nalanda has come to a finding that there is a Gaushala to which a room is attached in which respondent no. 7 lives. There is a provision of appeal against the order of the 2 District Magistrate, Nalanda. This writ application is not maintainable and the proper forum for the petitioner would be the Commissioner for redressal of her grievances. Since there is a time limit for filing an appeal, the petitioner would be at liberty to file the appeal with the limitation application. The Commissioner, Patna may consider her appeal and condone the delay considering that the petitioner was pursuing her grievances before the High Court. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations. Sanjay ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
