IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.498 of 2008 SHAIL KUMARI . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2/ 27/11/2009 No one appears for the petitioner. Learned counsel for the State is present. It appears from the pleadings that the petitioner has already moved the District Magistrate on 15.6.2007, aggrieved by the denial of appointment on the post of Angan Bari Sevika and the grant of the same to respondent No.8. Though after 25.7.2008 it is the District Programme Officer who is competent to adjudicate the issue, considering that the matter is prior thereto and the authority of the District Magistrate competent at that time has already been correctly invoked, this application is disposed with the observation that the District Magistrate is expected to decide the representation after hearing all concerned, including respondent No.8 by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It goes without saying that the earlier procedure of an appeal before the Commission shall then be pursued by the aggrieved party. The application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
