Chandrawati Devi W/O Sri Ram Pravesh Singh Resident Of Village-Manjhauli, P.S.-Sanjhuli, District-Rohtas. ……………. Respondents ---------------------------------- 02. 14.11.2011 According to the petitioner, she was selected on the post of Anganwari Sevika in terms of Annexure- 1, dated 05.05.2010. She went for training thereafter and started working in that capacity till by virtue of the order passed by the CDPO, Sanjhauli, District – Rohtas (Respondent No. 6), she was ordered to be removed from the post of Anganwari Sevika. Petitioner approached the District Programme Officer with her grievance on the ground that there was no show-cause, no opportunity of hearing or any ground furnished to her before the order of removal came to be passed. Petitioner is totally in the dark as to the reason for her removal. This Writ is disposed of with a direction on the District Magistrate, Rohtas, (Respondent No. 2) that in case 2 the petitioner files a proper application in this regard before him within four weeks, he will hear the parties concerned, including the present petitioner on the issue and pass an appropriate order with regard to the order of removal passed by the CDPO. It goes without saying that if the removal order has been passed without giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, as has been alleged in the present Writ Application, a duty is cast upon him to set aside the order of removal. Decision in this regard is warranted preferably within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this Order. SKM (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
