IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12860 of 2007 SHANTI DEVI @ SHANTI KUMARI, wife of Shankar Sharma, resident of village- Kubri, P. S. Karpi, District Arwal…..Petitioner. Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR through the Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Bihar, Patna. 2. The District Magistrate, Arwal. 3. The Dy. Development Commissioner, Arwal. 4. The Block Development Officer, Karpi, Dist. Arwal. 5. The Mukhiya, Keyal Gram Panchayat, P.S. Kari, District Arwal. 6. Krishna Devi, wife of Manibhushan Sharma, village Kubri, P.S. Karpi, Dist. Arwal. … Respondents ----------- 2. 05.01.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “i) That this is an application for issuance of appropriate writ(s)/order(s)/direction(s) commanding the respondents not to appoint respondent no. 6 on the post of Aangan Bari Sevika and to consider the case of the petitioner for her appointment on the said post keeping in view the criteria laid down by the Govt. for such appointment, that is, the marks obtained in matriculation examination having better than that of respondent no. 6. The petitioner further prays for any other relief(s) to which he is found 2 entitled to under the law and in the facts and circumstances of this case.” With reference to the aforementioned reliefs, counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner intends to move the Collector of the District by filing a compact representation. In the opinion of this court, recourse chosen by the petitioner seems to be correct inasmuch as the scheme for appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika itself envisages the redressal of grievance pertaining to selection/appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika/Sahayika in the first instance by the Collector of the District. That being so, this court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a compact representation which, if filed along with this order, will be disposed within the time limit fixed by the State Government in the Circular dated 10.12.2009 by a reasoned order after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent no. 6 and the representative of concerned gram panchayat. 3 With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
