She further states that she being eligible, applied for the said post within the prescribed time, and it is her grievance that the respondent having received her application, has not issued her Hall Ticket. If the petitioner has submitted her application within the stipulated time and if she satisfies the eligibility criteria, the respondent shall consider the case of the petitioner for appointment to the post of Anganwadi Worker and Helper along with other candidates, who have been issued Hall Tickets.” No counter-affidavit is filed. However, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj placed parawise remarks before this Court, wherein, it is, inter alia, stated that notices for interview were sent to the petitioner under certificate of posting on 26- 08-2008 and 17-09-2008 apart from the notice having been published in the newspaper. It is further stated that interviews were held on 23-09-2008 by the respondent, but the petitioner failed to attend the same. It is further mentioned in the parawise remarks that the selections are not completed so far. The respondent is silent regarding compliance of order dated 31-12-2008 reproduced above, wherein he was categorically directed to consider the case of the petitioner for the post of Anganwadi Worker and Helper along with other candidates, who were issued hall tickets. The respondent has not disputed the eligibility of the petitioner. As her case is not considered so far in spite of the direction given by this Court, and having regard to the stand taken by the respondent that the selections have not been completed so far, the respondent is directed to interview the petitioner and consider her claim before a final decision on the selections is taken. The respondent shall duly intimate the date of interview to the petitioner by ensuring that such intimation is received by the petitioner under acknowledgment. Till consideration of the petitioner’s case, the respondent shall not finalize the selections for the post of Anganwadi Worker and Helper of P.Rallapalli Village, Veligandla Mandal, Prakasam District. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.37849 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
