CHAKRABORTY R/O VILL.- HARI NARAYANPUR, P.O.- ASARHI, P.S.- NARDIGANJ, DISTT.- NAWADA ----------- 2/ 08/11/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner was an applicant for the post of Angan Bari Sevika at the Angan Bari Centre, Hari Narayanpur, P.O. Asarhi, P.S. Nardiganj, district- Nawadah along with respondent No.8. The latter came to be selected which was questioned by the petitioner before the District Programme Officer. The District Programme Officer by his order dated 30.3.2009 held the appointment of respondent No.8 to be bad and directed the appointment of the petitioner who is stated to have been at serial No.2 of the merit list. When nothing has transpired with regard to her appointment the writ application has been filed. - 2 - Learned counsel for the State rightly points out that issues of eligibility/ineligibility for appointment are matters to be examined by the District Magistrate himself. It is not known whether respondent No.8 has questioned the order of the District Programme Officer or whether it has attained finality. In what manner the District Magistrate shall be required to proceed shall necessarily encompass any challenge made by respondent No.8 to the order of the District Programme Officer before a competent court and what orders may have been passed therein. The application is disposed with the direction that only if the petitioner files a representation within 30 days from today before the District Magistrate, let him decide the issues in accordance with law after hearing all concerned, including respondent No.8 by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before him. The writ application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
