Respondents ----------- 3. 04/03/2011 From the letters of the Director, I.C.D.S., as contained in Annexure-1 series, it appears that the Collector, Sitamarhi has been directed to take steps in the matter of claim of the petitioners for their re- engagement as Anganbari Sevika. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that till now the Collector has not taken any steps and as such the Anganbari Centres have not been made functional. 2 In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the Collector, Sitamarhi to look into the matter and take appropriate steps so that Anganbari Sevika and Sahayika are engaged in the respective Centres and the Centres become functional at an early date. In case, the Collector decides to reject the claim of the petitioners for their reinstatement, he shall pass reasoned order after hearing them and shall communicate the same to the petitioners. Final orders in this regard should be passed by the Collector preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
