For the petitioner :- Mr. Nityanand Mishra, Advocate For the State :- S.C. 2 ----------- 2 13.4.2011 The petitioner has challenged the appointment of respondent no. 14 on the post of Anganwari Sevika, Centre Dhanauti, Block Bijaipur, District Gopalganj. It is submitted that the appointment was a back door appointment. 2 Annexure-4 is the complaint filed by the petitioner before the District Magistrate, Gopalganj on 2.4.2007 which was sent by registered post.
