Forbesganj, District Araria ----------- 02/ 21.08.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner was appointed as Anganwari Sewika at Centre No. 42, Ward No. 18 in the district of Araria. Her appointment has been cancelled by the District Welfare Officer, Araria and thereafter private respondent no.8 has been directed to be appointed. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that District Welfare Officer has no jurisdiction in the matter and order bearing Memo No. 1127 dated 31.12.2008, Annexure-11 is wholly without jurisdiction. It is further submitted that the mother of private respondent no.8 is also serving as school teacher and her father is serving in the post office and considering such fact, she is not fit to be appointed as Anganwari Sewika. Counsel for private respondent no.8, however, 2 opposes the submission made on behalf of the petitioner, as according to him, both the mother and father of private respondent no.8 has retired and the case of private respondent no.8 for appointment as Anganwari Sewika has been rightly considered by the authorities. Let the petitioner file memo of appeal against the order bearing Memo No. 1127 dated 31.12.2008, Annexure-11 before the District Magistrate, Araria, who should consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as early as possible, in any case within one month from the date of receipt of the memo of appeal along with a certified copy of this order. It shall be open for the respondent no.8 to appear in the appeal and oppose the same. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. Arjun/ ( V.N. Sinha, J.)
