HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.30920 of 2010 ORDER: The Government introduced a Scheme for payment of pension to old aged persons, physically handicapped persons etc., in the rural areas. The bank is identified for distribution of the same and it is conferred with the power to appoint Customer Service Providers to extend the benefits under each village. The method of appointment of Providers is prescribed by the Commissioner, Department of Rural Development, the 1st respondent herein, through circular dated 26.8.2010. The District Rural Development Authority has to furnish three probable names to the bank and in accordance with the norms stipulated therein, one of them would be appointed. Petitioner contends that though her name was sponsored by the Gram Panchayat and other concerned authorities, the second respondent appointed the 4th respondent as a Service Provider. The same is challenged. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The Circular dated 26.8.2010 prescribes a detailed procedure for appointment of Service Providers. The question as to whether the appointment of the 4th respondent is contrary to the said norms can be considered by respondent Nos. 2 and 3. The Sarpanch of the Village raised certain objections as to the appointment of the 4th respondent. The petitioner can also approach respondent Nos. 2 and 3. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to approach respondent Nos. 2 and 3 pointing out her grievance vis a vis appointment of the 4th respondent. The same shall be considered in accordance with law, duly issuing notice to the 4th respondent within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
