Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.TADDI.NAGESWARA RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR WOMEN DEV. & CHILD WELFARE The Court made the following ORDER: The petitioner feels aggrieved by the order, dated 16.07.2008, passed by the third respondent. Steps were initiated by the District Collector, Vizianagaram, the ﬁrst respondent herein, for appointing Anganwadi Workers for various villages, including K.Palavalasa Village, Garivi Mandal, Vizianagaram District. The petitioner and certain others applied and all of them were interviewed. Alleging that the results of the selection were not declared, the petitioner approached this Court by ﬁling W.P.No.9999 of 2008. The writ petition was disposed of on 01.05.2008, directing the respondents to declare the results or to communicate the reasons for not declaration thereof. The third respondent passed the impugned order in compliance with the said direction. It is mentioned that the petitioner is a non-local candidate and two others, who appeared in the interview, were not selected since their respective husbands are working as Teachers. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had ample proof to show that she is a local resident of the village and there is no basis for the respondents to treat her as non-local. The learned Government Pleader, on the other hand, submits that the veriﬁcation of the record discloses that the petitioner is not a local candidate and in that view of the matter, no exception can be taken to the impugned order. The only ground on which the petitioner was not selected as Anganwadi Worker is that she is not a local candidate. The petitioner has placed before this Court, the copies of Ration Card, Income Certiﬁcate issued by the Tahsildar, Caste, Nativity and Residence Certiﬁcates. On the basis of these certiﬁcates, the petitioner asserts that she is a resident of the village. This Court cannot express any view on such matters. The petitioner can approach the ﬁrst respondent, who, would, get the matter verified and pass appropriate orders. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that it shall be open to the petitioner to make a representation to the ﬁrst respondent, duly enclosing necessary certiﬁcates and the ﬁrst respondent, in turn, shall pass necessary orders, within a period of one month from the date of presentation of the representation. Till such exercise is completed, the respondents shall not take any steps to ﬁll the vacancy. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:08.08.2008 kdl .....
