IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8007 of 2005 NIKI KUMARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 03. 17.05.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. This application was filed by the petitioner for quashing the appointment of Respondent No. 10 on the post of Anganbari Sevika of Centre No. 9, Gram Panchayat Raj Bhada, East Champaran. Petitioner claims herself to be more eligible than the Respondent No. 10 for being appointed on the post of Anganbari Sevika. She has also alleged that against the recommendation made by the Aam Sabha of the Gram Panchayat, the Respondent No. 10 was selected for the post of Anganbari Sevika by the C.D.P.O. The Counter Affidavit filed on behalf of Respondent No. 6, C.D.P.O., on the other hand indicates that the petitioner being the daughter of village, where Anganwari Centre is situated, was not eligible for being selected for Anganbari Sevika according to the guidelines for selection of Anganbari Sevika. Otherwise also, Respondent No. 10 was more eligible than the petitioner. Petitioner is only 2 Matriculate, but Respondent No. 10 is Graduate. In the Matriculation also, she has higher marks than the petitioner. It has also been stated that petitioner was never recommended for selection, but she has tried to take advantage of some mistake, recorded in the proceeding book, though subsequently the proceeding of Aam Sabha was recorded correctly. Since the petitioner is daughter of that village, where the Anganwari Centre is situated, she was disqualified for being appointed as Anganbari Sevika. In this view of the matter, there is no merit in this application. Accordingly, it is dismissed. SKM (Mridula Mishra, J.)
