Bachhwara, District Begusarai … Respondents. ----------- 2. 18.12.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows: “The present application is for issuance of a writ in the nature of writ of certiorari for quashing proposal No. 4 of the proceedings of Aam Sabha dated 10.7.2007 whereby the respondent no.9 namely Afroza Khatoon has been appointed as Aanganwari Sevika for Aanganwari Centre No. 78, Arwagachhi Tola within Arwa Gram Panchayat and further for issuance of a writ in the nature of writ of mandamus directing the respondents to appoint the petitioner as 2 Aanganwari Sevika in place of respondent no.9.” With reference to the aforementioned relief, counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner intends to move the Collector of the District by filing a compact representation. In the opinion of this Court, recourse chosen by the petitioner seems to be correct inasmuch as the scheme for appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika itself envisages the redressal of grievance pertaining to selection/ appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika in the first instance by the Collector of the District. That being so, this Court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a compact representation which, if filed alongwith this order, will be disposed of within the time limit fixed by the State Government in the circular dated 10.12.2009 by a reasoned order after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent no.9 and the representative of concerned Gram Panchayat. 3 With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of.
