PETITIONER AND District Women and Child Development Corporation, rep. by its Chair Person & District Collector, Prakasam District, Ongole and others .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: Counsel for the Respondents: The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 2322 OF 2009 ORDER : In response to the notification dated 11.02.2006 issued by the 1st respondent inviting applications for appointment of Anganwadi Helpers/Workers in Prakasam Distrit including the Anganwadi Helper of Sramikanagar, Karavadi East Harijanawada of Ongole Rural, the petitioner and the 4th respondent herein applied and appeared for the interview. However, by order dated 06.01.2009, the 4th respondent was appointed as Anganwadi worker. Aggrieved by the same, this writ petition is filed contending inter alia that the 4th respondent did not possess the required educational qualifications and therefore, her selection and appointment was erroneous and liable to be set aside. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents 1 to 3 stating that in the interviews conducted on 10.01.2007 though the selection committee awarded highest marks to the 4th respondent, it was subsequently found that the educational certificates produced by the 4th respondent were false and fabricated. It is also stated that the 4th respondent did not join and as on today the petitioner, who belongs to the same locality has been functioning as Anganwadi helper. Though notice has been served on the 4th respondent, none appeared when the matter is called. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and particularly keeping in view the stand taken in the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents 1 to 3 that the 4th respondent’s educational certificates were found to be fake documents, the 4th respondent’s selection cannot be sustained. Accordingly, the appointment order of the 4th respondent dated 06.01.2009 is hereby set aside and the Writ Petition is allowed as prayed for. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J. Date: 20.01.2010 Ivd
