1 BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED: 13.10.2011 CORAM THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE K.CHANDRU W.P.(MD)No.2579 of 2011 K.Pandimuthu : Petitioner vs. 1.The District Collector, Thiruchirappalli District, Thiruchirappalli. 2.The Child Development Service Officer, Child Development Service Office, Marungapuri, Manapparai Taluk, Trichy District. : Respondents PRAYER: Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for the issuance of a Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondents to declare the result of the interview conducted on 13.05.2010 to the post of Anganwadi worker at Yagapuram Child Welfare Centre. For Petitioner : Mr.Sri Balaji For Respondents : Mr.T.S.Mohammed Mohideen Additional Government Pleader ORDER The petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition seeking for a direction to declare the result of interview conducted on 13.05.2010 for filling up the post of Anganwadi Worker at Yagapuram Child Welfare Centre. 2. It is the case of the petitioner that when a vacancy was notified, she had applied for the said post and interview letter was sent to her to attend interview on 13.05.2010 at the Child Development Project Office, Marungapuri. Having attended the interview, selection results have not been announced. Hence, she has come forward to file the present Writ Petition. 3. When the Writ Petition came up on 04.03.2011, notice was ordered in the Writ Petition. On notice from this Court, the second respondent has filed a counter-affidavit dated 28.04.2010. In the counter- affidavit, it is stated that as per the norms prescribed by the Government, in all the Noon-meal Centres as well as Anganwadi Centres, the rules of reservation will have to be followed. The State Government had issued G.O.Ms.No.142, Social Welfare Department, dated 06.07.2010, introducing the communal roster in respect of all Noon-meal Centres and Anganwadi Centres in the entire State and the District Collectors have been asked to identify the various Centres for the purpose of implementing the roster point. The very such Government Order came to be issued by the State Government, pursuant to the direction issued by this Court in D.Pothumallee v. District Collector reported in 2010(5) MLJ 46. Therefore, it was stated that Yagapuram Child Welfare Centre was reserved for Schedule Caste candidates and already under the orders of the District Collector, Trichirappalli, 153 https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 Anganwadi Main Centre Workers, 88 Mini Anganwadi Workers and 149 Anganwadi Helpers have been appointed. If the communal roster was not followed, it is likely to create tension and, therefore, the petitioner being Most Backward Class candidate, she cannot be given appointment order in respect of such Centre, which is reserved for Scheduled Caste candidates. 4. In the light of the stand taken by the respondents, there is no case made out to entertain the present Writ Petition. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs.
