Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- i) That, this is an application for issuance of an appropriate writ order/orders, direction/directions commanding the respondents to appoint the petitioner on the post of Anganwari Sevika in Mushari Senuariya, Panchayat in view of memo no. 71 dt. 2.7.05 issued by children development Pariyojha officer, Chanpatiya West Champaran whereby petitioner was selected for the post of Anganwari Sevika in the said Panchayat (as contained in Annexure-1) and for any other order/orders as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper under the circumstances of the case including 2 quashing of appointment to other candidate (respondent no. 7) which is illegal and discriminatory and violation of natural justice.” Counsel for the petitioner would accept the position that the grievance of the petitioner as raised in this writ application in the first instance has to be adjudicated by the Collector of the District in terms of the Circular of the State Government prescribing the Collector of concerned District to be the competent authority to look into any sort of alleged anomaly in selection / appointment of Anganwari Sevika / Sahayika. In that view of the matter, now when the process of disposal of such representation by the Collector and consequential appeal by the Commissioner has been also streamlined by a subsequent circular of the State Government vide Memo No. 3417 dated 10.12.2009, this court would direct the petitioner to file a fresh representation along with a copy of this order. In case such a representation is filed, the Collector would pass his final 3 order in terms of guidelines, of course after giving opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent no. 7 as also representative of concerned Gram Panchayat within the prescribed period under the aforesaid Government circular. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
