Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr. K.V.CHALAPATHI RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR WOMEN DEVELOPMENT. & CHILD WELFARE The Court made the following ORDER: The petitioner contends that she was selected as an Anganwadi Teacher on 22-12- 2003 by the Mother-committee with the consent of the village elders, Sarpanch and the members of the Gram Panchayat. The consent of the Mother-committee was sent to the 4th respondent for issuance of necessary proceedings. The 4th respondent informed the petitioner that the proceedings of her appointment as Anganwadi teacher will be issued within two days, but for the reasons best known, the 4th respondent did not issue the proceedings till now. The petitioner submitted many representations and the latest being the representation dated 25-9-2004. But, no orders have been passed by the 4th respondent till now. The petitioner, therefore, approached this Court through this Writ Petition seeking declaration that the action of the 4th respondent in not issuing the proceedings for her appointment as Anganwadi teacher as illegal, arbitrary and violative of Article 19 of the Constitution of India. The grievance of the petitioner is that no orders have been passed by the 4th respondent till now on the recommendation made by the Mother-committee through the letter dated 22-12-2003. The 4th respondent is expected to pass appropriate orders on the letter sent by the Mother-committee regarding the appointment of the petitioner as an Anganwadi teacher within a reasonable time. Since the 4th respondent is said to have not passed any orders till now, it is a fit case for issuing a direction to the 4th respondent. In the light of the above circumstances, the 4th respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on the consent letter of the Mother-committee dated 22-12-2003 according to the existing rules within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. _____________________ (Dr. G.YETHIRAJULU,J) 6th October, 2004. Note: Furnish C.C. in two days.
