By virtue of Annexure-1 dated 15.3.2008 the Child Development Project Officer, Banka has removed the petitioner from the post of Aangabari Sevika allegedly on a direction issued by the Director, I.C.D.S., Patna. Contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that in terms of the guidelines which has been issued by the State of Bihar in the matter of selection of Aangabari Sevika, the power of removal is vested in the District Magistrate and the enquiry officer has to submit the details and the findings of the enquiry to the District Magistrate, who shall after giving the opportunity of hearing pass speaking order.

Prima facie, in the face of it, since the order has been passed at the dictates of the Director, I.C.D.S. and issued by the Child Development Project Officer, Banka, the order is quashed. The matter is remitted back to the competent authority that they shall forward the details of the enquiry to the District Magistrate, who shall after hearing the parties will pass appropriate orders in this case.
