WP(C) 5725/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA Both the writ petitions more or less being based on same very facts and the issue involved being one and the same, have been heard together and are bein g disposed of by this common order. The matter pertains to selection and appointment of Anganwadi Worker in two different centres, namely Udaligaon Buribali L.P. School AWC and Borjoha Gao n No. 2 Pachim Part-A. In W.P.(C) No. 5722/2009 the petitioner has challenged th e selection and appointment of the private respondent on the ground that she is not a resident of AWC area. In the other writ petition, i.e. W.P.(C) No. 5725/20 09, the challenge made to the selection and appointment of the private responden t is on the ground that she being married one, is not entitled to get selection . In this connection, the petitioners have referred to the adopted guidelines in terms of which a candidate will have to be a resident of the AWC area. Similar ly, a married woman is not entitled to get appointment as Anganwadi Helper if af ter marriage she shifts herself to the resident of her in-laws in another place. I have heard Ms. Hoda, learned counsel for the petitioners in both the w rit petitions. I have also heard Mr. B.K. Sarmah, learned Standing counsel, SWD as well as Mr. FU Borbhuyan and Ms. S. Borah, learned counsel appearing for the private respondents. Mr. Sarmah, learned SC, SWD has produced the letter dated 24.06.2011 add ressed to him by the District Social Welfare Officer, Nagaon furnishing the repo rts on spot verification. As per the said report, the pleas raised in the writ petitions as referred to above are correct, i.e. the private respondents are not the resident of AWC area and that the private respondent involved in W.P.(C) No . 5725/2009 does not reside in AWC area after her marriage. The aforesaid reports have been disputed by the learned counsel for the private respondents stating that they are the residents of the AWC area. In this connection, they have referred to the documents annexed to the counter affidavi t. Above being the disputed question of fact, this court exercising the wri t jurisdiction cannot decide the same by making a roving enquiry. In view of the above, both the writ petitions are disposed of directing the Commissioner and Secretary to the Govt. of Assam, Social Welfare Department to decide the issue raised in both the writ petitions appreciating the facts on the basis of the available materials. Depending upon the decision to be arrive d at, the said authority shall take further course of action in the matter. Let the entire exercise be carried out as expeditiously as possible, but at any rate, not later than 30.09.2011. If need be, all the parties shall be gi ven personal hearing.
