FOR THE STATE : MR.TRIPURARI NATH AMBASTHA, A.C. TO S.C.25 ----------- 2. 08/04/2011 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that earlier the District Programme Officer vide order dated 30.1.2010, as contained in Annexure-2, had cancelled the selection of the petitioner as Anganbari Sevika. Against the said order, petitioner filed her representation before the Collector, Bhagalpur, a copy whereof is annexed as Annexure-3. However, from Annexure-4 it appears that a fresh show cause was asked from the petitioner by the District Programme Officer on the orders of the Collector as to 2 why her engagement should not be cancelled. In response to the same, petitioner filed her show cause, vide Annexure-5. Grievance of the petitioner is that without passing final orders on the representation of the petitioner by the Collector, a notification for appointment of fresh Anganbari Sevika was issued by the C.D.P.O., vide Annexure-6. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that unless and until engagement of the petitioner as Anganbari Sevika is finally cancelled, no Anganbari Sevika can be selected afresh at the Centre. In view of the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner and documents available on record, this Court directs the Collector, Bhagalpur to pass final orders in the matter of the petitioner, if not already passed, after hearing the parties, positively within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. In case, till today no final orders have passed disengaging the petitioner from the post of Anganbari Sevika and no fresh 3 Anganbari Sevika has been engaged at the Centre, status quo as of today shall be maintained till final orders are passed by the Collector. The writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
