The petitioner has approached this Court praying for direction to the respondents to appoint the petitioner as Anganwadi Sevika. 2. It is the contention of the petitioner that she was initially working in Balwadi which was closed and thereafter, Anganwadi started in the same place and as such, in view of the Government Resolution dated 5th August, 2010, the petitioner was entitled to be appointed in the said Anganwadi as Anganwadi Sevika. (2) wp1587-11 3. The petition is liable to be dismissed on a short ground that the respondents had initiated the process for appointment of Anganwadi Sevika at the relevant time and that the petitioner had already participated in the said selection process and having failed in the said selection process, the petitioner has now approached this Court. In that view of the matter, in view of the decisions of the Apex Court in the case of "Madanl Lal and others vs. State of J & K and others" (1995) 3 S.C.C. 486 and "Suneeta Aggarwal vs. State of Haryana and others" AIR 2000 S.C. 1058, once a candidate has participated in the selection process and taken a chance, such a candidate is estopped by his conduct from raising any grievance that the said selection process was not legally conducted or undertaken. Hence, the writ petition is rejected. [M.T. JOSHI, J.] [B.R. GAVAI, J.] npj/wp1587-11
