RESPONDENTS ----------- 2. 01/04/2011 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that on the resignation of the earlier Anganbari Sevika, the post became vacant and thereafter petitioner applied for her engagement from the panel. Petitioner submitted her representation before the Collector also on 26.3.2010 which is still pending. However, the District Programme Officer by order, as contained in Annexure-6, held another enquiry and selected respondent no.12. Learned counsel submits that since the 2 matter is pending with the Collector, the Collector should have passed orders and during the pendency of the matter before him, the District Programme Officer had no authority to issue any order as per Guidelines. Admittedly, petitioner’s representation before the Collector is pending consideration. Therefore, petitioner should approach the Collector by filing fresh representation/complaint. If such a complaint is filed by the petitioner within four weeks from today, the Collector shall consider the same, if necessary, hold enquiry and pass final orders after hearing the parties, preferably within a period of three months from the date of filing of the complaint/ representation. The writ application is accordingly disposed of. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
