THE CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OFFICER, KOELWAR BLOCK, DISTRICT BHOJPUR (ARA) ………………………………………………………………………RESPONDENTS ********* 2 17/05/2011 The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 23.01.2008 passed by the Director, Social Welfare Department. No notices were issued to the petitioner before passing the order terminating her engagement as an Aanganbari Sevika in Centre No. 134. The reason for not issuing notice is supposedly an order passed by the Supreme Court in SLP No. 196 of 2001. On perusal of the order of the Supreme Court in SLP No. 196 of 2001, this Court has not found any direction of the Supreme Court that show cause notices are not to be issued before terminating the Aanganbari Sevikas/Sahayikas, who are guilty of dereliction of duties. I thus, remand the matter back to the Director, 2 Social Welfare Department, who will hear the petitioner and pass appropriate orders within a period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The petitioner is directed to appear before the Director, Social Welfare Department along with a copy of this order within a period of one month from today. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Anand ( Sheema Ali Khan, J. )
