IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14075 of 2007 Mostt. Nutan Devi, Wife of Late Surendra Kumar, Resident of Village ShankarThua Grampanchayat – Ghoghlpur, P.S. Mahishi, District Saharsa. -------- Petitioner Versus 1. State of Bihar. 2. The District Magistrate, Saharsa. 3. District Welfare Officer-cum-District Program Officer, Saharsa. 4. C.D.P.O., Mahishi Block, Saharsa. 5. Kanchan Kumari, Wife of Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, Resident of Village Grampanchayat Naula, Block Nabahatta, P.S. Mahishi, District Saharsa. --------Respondents ----------- 2 18.12.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “1(i) For Directing the respondent authorities to appoint the petitioner on the post of Aganwari Sevika on the Shankarthua, Aganwari Centre under Ghoghepur Panchayat instead of Respondent No.5. (ii) For directing the Respondent authorities to cancel the appointment of Kanchan Kumari, Respondent No.5 who has been illegally appointed on the post of Aganwari Sevika on Shankar Thua Aganwari Centre ignoring the present petitioner who fulfills all the cretaria which is necessary for the post of 2 Aganwari Sevika on Shankar Thua Aganwari Centre Under Ghoghepur Grampanchayat Raj.” With reference to the aforementioned reliefs, counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner intends to move the Collector of the District by filing a compact representation. In the opinion of this court, recourse chosen by the petitioner seems to be correct inasmuch as the scheme for appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika itself envisages the redressal of grievance pertaining to selection/appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika in the first instance by the Collector of the District. That being so, this court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a compact representation which, if filed along with this order, will be disposed within the time limit fixed by the State Government in the Circular dated 10.12.2009 by a reasoned order after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent no. 5 and the representative of concerned gram panchayat. With the aforementioned observations and 3 directions, this writ application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
