IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE SIXTH DAY OF APRIL, TWO THOUSAND NINE ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2241 of 2008 Between: Palleda Padma. … Petitioner And The District Collector-cum-Chairman, District Selection Committee of Anganwadi Worker/Helper, Vizianagaram District and three others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri Taddi Nageswar Rao. Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Women Development & Child Welfare for R.1 to R.3. None for R.4. This Court made the following: ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of respondents 1 to 3 in selecting respondent No.4 as Anganwadi helper of K.Krishnapuram village, Dattirajeru Mandal, Vizianagaram District, as arbitrary and illegal. When WPMP No.2887 of 2008 came up for hearing, this Court dismissed the said application on the plea contained in the counter-affidavit of respondent No.3 that as respondent No.4 did not have the requisite qualification of a pass in 7th class, she was not selected as Anganwadi worker, and directed the Writ Petition to be posted for orders today. Accordingly the case has been called. Heard Sri Taddi Nageswara Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Women Development & Child Welfare for respondents 1 to 3. Having regard to the averment contained in the counter- affidavit filed by Smt.B.Santha Kumari, Child Development Project Officer, ICDS Project, Gajapatinagaram, Vizianagaram District, respondent No.3 herein, wherein it is mentioned that respondent No.4 was not selected as Anganwadi helper as she did not possess the 7th Class qualification, the Writ Petition filed questioning the purported appointment of respondent No.4 as Anganwadi helper does not survive for consideration. The Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous with liberty to the petitioner to question the appointment of any other person. -------------------------------------- C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Dt.06-4-2009 MNR
