IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6196 of 2009 ANURADHA KUMARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 18/5/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The petitioner seeks to question the decision of Aam Sabha of the Panchayat with regard to selection on the post of Angan Bari Sevika. As per scheme and circular of the State Government such issues relating to service conditions of the Angan Bari Sevika has to be decided by the Collector of the district in the first instance and the appeal against such order of the Collector also lies before the Commissioner of the Division. Since the petitioner had not approached the Collector of the district for the grievance raised in this Court, this Court would grant leave to the petitioner to withdraw this application and to approach the Collector of the district. In the event the petitioner would approach the Collector of the district assailing the aforementioned decision of the Aam Sabha of the Gram Panchayat favouring appointment of respondent no.9, namely, Bibha Rani, the Collector after issuing notice to the aforesaid Bibha Rani and also after hearing both the petitioner and Bibha Rani would pass a final order deciding the question of genuineness of appointment of Bibha Rani and better claim of appointment of the petitioner. Whatever decision may be 2 taken by the Collector of the district, the same must be taken within a period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order by passing a reasoned order so that an appeal carried by any of the aggrieved person to the Commissioner becomes a meaningful exercise. In that view of the matter, this writ application is permitted to be withdrawn with the aforementioned liberty. Abhay Kumar (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
