True copy tga V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.34315 of 2006 I ------------------------ Dated this the 28th day of September, 2007. JUDGMENT The petitioner, who claims to be a permanent Anganwadi Helper, aspires for appointment to the post of permanent Anganwadi Worker. Though there was a challenge against Ext.P6 order issued by the Government in which preference is substantially given to temporary Anganwadi Helpers and Anganwadi Workers, the same has been modified as per Ext.P8 Government Order dated 6.1.2007. According to the petitioner, she fulfills the quanlification as per the modified Clause in Ext.P8 and there are sufficient number of vacancies also. The writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to approach the 3rd respondent with a representation in this behalf within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. On receipt of the representation, the 3rd respondent shall consider the claim of the petitioner, in the light of Ext.P8 Government Order dated 6.1.2007, within two months from the date of receipt of the representation. If W.P.(C).No.34315 of 2006 :: 2 :: similarly situated persons have been given appointment as permanent Anganwadi Workers, the claim of the petitioner may also be considered by the 3rd respondent.
