IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1621 of 2009 ARUNA KUMARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 03 4.3.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Despite opportunity granted, no counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the State. In question is an order dated 11.11.2008 passed by the District Magistrate, Gaya by which the complaint of respondent no.5 has been accepted and in consequence of which the petitioner has been unseated from her position after selection as a Anganbari Sevika. A Division Bench of this Court in 2004 (2) P.L.J.R., 833 ( Sajjan Devi & Others Versus The State of Bihar & Others) has held that though Anganbari Sevika do not hold a Government post nevertheless, they cannot be removed in violation of the principles of natural justice. It is the specific case of the petitioner that no show-cause notice was given to her, neither she was heard before the order dated 11.11.2008. From the recital in the impugned order dated 11.11.2008 itself, this Court is satisfied that the order does not reflect compliance with the principles of natural justice from the discussions contained therein. The order is accordingly set aside with all its consequences. The matter is remanded to the respondent no.2 for fresh decision in accordance with law, after hearing all concerned. The writ application stands allowed. P.K. (Navin Sinha, J.)
