IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3328 of 2009 MANGALI DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 19.3.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The grievance of the petitioner with regard to continuance of respondent no.7 Ranju Devi on the post of Anganwari Sevika in the first instance should have been looked into by the Collector of Saharsa District, especially when it is said that he had already got the matter enquired into. That being so, this Court would direct the petitioner to file a fresh representation wherein she may set out the details of her case, vis-à-vis anomaly in the appointment and continuance of respondent no.7 and on receipt of the said representation the office of the Collector will issue notice to the concerned official respondents as well as to Ranju Devi, whereafter a final order will be passed after hearing all the parties within a period of six months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. 2 Let it be made clear that this Court has expressed no opinion on the merits of the claim of the petitioner and therefore, it will be open for the Collector, the prescribed authority in the matter of appointment of Anganwari Sevika, to take his own independent decision strictly in accordance with law and the Government policy. This application, accordingly, stands disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
