Kochas, District- Rohtas ………….. Respondents ----------- 2. 08/04/2011 If the allegations of the petitioner is correct, it is apparent that the Collector, Sasaram has failed to perform his statutory duties as per law. From Annexures-13 and 15 it appears that the report of the Mukhiya dated 31.10.2008 as well as one complaint of the petitioner was referred by the Divisional Commissioner to the Collector for appropriate action. Report of the Mukhiya, as contained in Annexure-7, shows that the records were manipulated to allow respondent no.11 to function as Anganbari Sevika without any due 2 selection process. The matter is serious one and the Collector ought to have taken steps seriously after holding appropriate enquiry and after hearing the parties. The writ application is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the Collector, Sasaram to take cognizance of the matter as referred by the Divisional Commissioner, get an enquiry held, hear the parties and pass appropriate orders in the matter positively within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The Collector is also directed to issue appropriate orders for maintaining status quo as of today. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
