Kanchan Kumari, wife of Ashok Yadav, resident of Mohalla Mahadev Nagar, Ward No.14, Post + P.S. Shekhpura, District Shekhpura … 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 petitioner craves indulgence of this Hon’ble Court for issuance of an appropriate writ in the nature of mandamus, commanding and directing the respondent concerned to appoint the petitioner on the post of Anganwari Sevika within a specified period.” With reference to the 2 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.13 and the representative of concerned Nagar Panchayat. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/ 3
