Chahal, DAG, Punjab ***** SURYA KANT J. (ORAL) (1). The petitioner seeks a writ of Certiorari to quash the order dated 11.06.2008 (Annexure P4), whereby, her appointment as Anganwadi Worker has been cancelled allegedly being lowest in merit and respondent No.4 was ordered to be appointed in her place. (2). Learned counsel for the petitioner states that during the pendency of this writ petition, respondent No.4 has left the post of Anganwadi Worker after she got married. CWP No.12037 of 2008.doc - 2 – (3). Having heard learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the stand taken by the respondents in their counter-affidavit, it appears that the petitioner, as per her merit, was not entitled for appointment. Be that as it may, since the post of Anganwadi Worker has now fallen vacant, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider the petitioner’s claim for appointment, strictly as her per merit and if it is found that the petitioner is not entitled to such appointment, then initiate fresh selection process to fill up the said post so as to enable the other eligible candidates including the petitioner to compete for the same in accordance with law. (4). Ordered accordingly. (5). Dasti . (SURYA KANT) JUDGE 10.03.2010 vishal shonkar
