WP(C) 3807/2010 MCMCBEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B K SHARMA Heard Mr. P Talukdar, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. B K Sarma, learned Standing Counsel, Social Welfare Department, Assam. The petitioner who has been selected for appointment as Anganwadi Worker for the centre called Monikachuk in the district of Lakhimpur is aggrieved by h er non-appointment. According to the petitioner, all the selected candidates hav e been appointed except her. By order dated 18.08.2010 Mr. Sarma, learned Standi ng Counsel, Social Welfare Department was directed to obtain instruction. As per the written instruction furnished to him by the Child Development Project Offic er (CDPO) i.e. the respondent No.5, the particular Anganwadi Centre being inhabi ted by Scheduled Caste (SC) People to large extent, there is objection against t he appointment of the petitioner. In this connection, he has produced two repres entations purportedly made by some of the villagers. On the other hand, Mr. P Ta lukdar, learned counsel for the petitioner has produced the copy of the minutes of the meeting held on 02.08.2010 in the particular centre supporting the appoin tment of the petitioner. There is no doubt that the petitioner is the selected candidate for appo intment as Anganwadi Worker. She belongs to ST(P) category. It is not the case o f the respondents that her selection was on irrelevant consideration and that th e same is not valid in law. The petitioner is a selected candidate like that of others and I see no reason why the petitioner should not be appointed on the bas is of purported representations made by some villagers. On the other hand, in th e general meeting of the village held on 02.08.2010 the appointment of the petit ioner has been supported. In view of the above, this writ petition is allowed directing the respon dents more particularly, respondent No.5 to appoint the petitioner for which she has been selected for appointment as Anganwadi Worker.
