THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE-CUM-COLLECTOR, GAYA 5. THE DISTRICT PROGRAMME OFFICER, GAYA 6. THE CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OFFICER WAZIRGANJ, GAYA 7. THE DISTRICT CO-ORDINATOR, GAYA 8. THE MUKHIYA PANCHAYAT RAJ DAKHIN GAON UNDER WAZIRGANJ BLOCK, DISTT.- GAYA. ----------- 2. 11/02/2011 Although this writ application was filed on 11.5.2010 with service of two copies of the same in the office of learned Advocate General, no counter affidavit has been filed till today. Learned counsel for the petitioner points out that on a cryptic report of the Coordinator, as contained in Annexure-7, the District Magistrate, without issuing any show cause notice to the petitioner, has cancelled her engagement by the impugned order, as contained in Annexure-8. From perusal of Annexure-7, it does not appear that any verification of facts and state of affairs in respect of running of the centre was made by the Coordinator before submitting the report. Such a report could be hardly a ground for cancellation of engagement of the 2 petitioner, more so, without any notice to her. In the circumstances, order of the Collector, as contained in Annexure-8, is quashed. Petitioner shall appear before the Collector with a copy of this order, upon which, the Collector will be at liberty to issue show cause to her within two weeks. Thereafter, he will afford opportunity to the petitioner to file reply of the same within two weeks thereafter. On receipt of the reply of the petitioner and after hearing the parties, the Collector shall call for a report also, if he feels appropriate and thereafter pass orders in respect of engagement or otherwise of the petitioner. It is made clear that if the Collector finds that there is no substantial ground for disengagement of the petitioner, he shall issue order for her reinstatement at the Centre. Final order either way must be passed by the Collector within three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
