THE STATE OF BIHAR through Welfare Secretary, Patna 2. The Divisional Commissioner, Saran at Chapara 3. The District Magistrate, Siwan 4. The District Welfare Officer, Siwan 5. The District Development Commissioner, Siwan 6. The Child Development project Officer, Lakani Navinganj Block, Siwan 7. The Block Development Officer, Lakani Naviganj Block, Siwan 8. The Mukhiya, Gopalpur Panchayat, P.S. Basantpur, Siwan … Respondents. ----------- 2. 18.12.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows: “This writ application is being filed for quashing the resolution dated 3.4.2007 by which the respondent no.8 has selected the candidates for the post of “Anganbari Sevika” without following the guidelines fixed by the Government and further pray that issue appropriate writ/s, order/s, direction/s to the concerned respondents so that petitioner grievance will be redressed.” With reference to the aforementioned relief, counsel for the 2 petitioner would submit that a representation for the same relief was filed by the petitioner before the Collector of Siwan district but no order has been passed thereon till date. In the opinion of this Court, once the Government has provided in the Scheme for appointment on the post of Anganwari Sevika that any issue relating to selection/ appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika in the first instance has to be looked into and decided by the Collector of the District, the representation filed by the petitioner for this purpose ought to have been disposed of. That having not been done, this Court would direct the Collector of Siwan District to dispose of the representation of the petitioner, as contained in Annexure 7, by a reasoned order within the time frame now prescribed by the State Government in the latest circular dated 10.12.2009, of course after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner as also representative of concerned Gram Panchayat. In order to expedite the matter, 3 this Court would also direct the petitioner to produce this order alongwith a copy of her earlier representation before the Collector of the District. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
