CELL SAMASTIPUR ----------- 2. 05.08.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The petitioner, an Anganwari Sevika, at Centre No. 165 Sarairanjan, District Samastipur, is aggrieved by order dated 9.11.2009 of the District Magistrate terminating her services on the alleged ground of deficiency in service. The impugned order of rejection with reference to the instructions dated 10.10.2007. 6.11.2007 and 15.5.2009 of the I.C.D.S. Directorate spells out that the District Magistrate did not consider it necessary to hear the petitioner before terminating her services. Counsel for the State opposing the application submits that there were allegations against the petitioner of improper discharge of duties. At this stage the Court is not concerned with the nature of the allegation much less whether the petitioner would have a defence or not and whether her defence would be acceptable or not. At this stage this Court is only concerned with the propriety of procedure and not what may be the possible decision after compliance of procedures. The impugned order dated 9.11.2009 is in teeth of the Division Bench order of this Court reported in 2004(3) BLJR 8333. The order dated 9.11.2009 is set aside and the writ application stands allowed without prejudice to the rights of the respondents. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
