THE SUBDIVISIONAL OFFICER, BARH, PATNA 6. THE DISTRICT WELFARE OFFICER, PATNA 7. THE CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OFFICER, BAKHTIYARPUR, DISTRICT PATNA 8. THE MUKHIYA, HARDASPUR PANCHAYAT, BLOCK AND P.S. BAKHTIYARPUR, DISTRICT PATNA ….. RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2. 10.8.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. Petitioner has been non-suited for appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika on the basis of the age recorded in the identity card issued by the election commission. 3. Counsel for the petitioner submits that age recorded in the election voters card issued by the election commission cannot be relied upon ignoring the age recorded in the matriculation certificate issued by the Bihar Sanskrit Siksha Board as while recording the age in the matriculation certificate issued by the Board reference is made to the original application filed by the guardian at the time of the admission in the school, whereas while recording the age for issue of election voters card a general estimation is made without any basis. In the light of the aforesaid contention it is submitted that the age recorded in the matriculation certificate issued by the 2 Board should prevail over the age recorded in the election voters card. Highlighting the aforesaid grievance petitioner has already filed representation (Annexure-6) before the District Magistrate, Patna, which is dated 7.2.2008 and is still pending. 4. Accordingly, I direct the District Magistrate, Patna to consider the representation of the petitioner in the light of her age recorded in the matriculation certificate issued by the Bihar Sanskrit Siksha Board on the basis of the entries made in the school admission register, as early as possible in any case within two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. 5. Any appointment made in the mean while shall be subject to the result of the representation filed by the petitioner. 6. This writ application is accordingly disposed of. Narendra/ ( V. N. Sinha, J. )
