TAMRUN NESHA W/O MOHAMMED SHAH ALAM R/O VILL.- SIRNI, P.S.- DHAKA, DISTT.- EAST CHAMPARAN ----------- 2. 09.03.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The petitioner questions the selection of respondent no. 9 as Anganwari Sahaika by the Aam Sabha. It is the own case of the petitioner in Para 8 that her selection has been subsequently declared invalid and in her place respondent no. 9 has been selected. A Division Bench of this Court in LPA No. 863 of 2009 has held that where persons like the petitioner are removed from service on grounds of deficiencies in operating of ‘Kendra’ the remedy lies before the District Programme Officer, but when it relates to issues of selection and cancellation of the appointment on alleged grounds of erroneous selection the matter has to be entrusted to the high authorities i.e. District Magistrate. In that view of the matter if the petitioner files an appropriate application before the District Magistrate within a maximum period of 30 days from today let the same be considered and disposed off after hearing all concerned including respondent no. 9 by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
