This writ application has been filed basically for the following relief: “i) Issuance of a writ in the nature of writ of mandamus commanding the respondents to forthwith appoint the petitioner as Anganbari Sevika of Digha Dusadh Toli Anganbari Kendra in Chakwa Panchayat of Jagdishpur Block in Bhojpur District for which she had made application. ii) Issuance of a writ in the nature of writ of certiorari quashing the appointment, if any other person has been appointed as Anganbari Sevika of Digha Dusadha Toli Anganwari Kendra in Chakawa 2 Panchayat of Jagdishpur Block in Bhojpur District in stead of the petitioner.” Counsel for the State would point out that the representation filed by the petitioner before the prescribed authority, namely, the Collector of the District has not been disposed of as yet. That being so, this Court without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case of the petitioner would give her liberty to approach the Collector of Bhojpur District by filing a fresh representation which then would be disposed of within the time limit fixed by the State Government in terms of its circular dated 10.12.2009. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
