PANCHAYAT SECRETARY, MARWA GRAM PANCHAYAT, BIHPUR BLOCK, BHAGALPUR ----------- 2/ 18/11/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order of he District Programme Officer dated 24.2.2010 rejecting the claim for appointment of the petitioner to the post of Angan Bari Sevika. It appears that the petitioner came to this Court earlier in C.W.J.C. No.5019/09 which at her request was withdrawn to pursue remedies before the District Programme Officer. In pursuance thereof the impugned order has been passed. Learned counsel seeks to persuade the Court that the findings are contrary to record. Learned counsel for the State rightly objects that the selected candidate Shanti Devi has not even - 2 - been made a respondent and the petitioner has an alternative remedy before the District Magistrate who, in any event, is the correct authority according to the Division Bench judgement of this Court to examine issues of illegality in the appointment of an Angan Bari Sevika. Only if the petitioner files such an application before the District Magistrate within 30 days from today, let him decide the same after hearing all concerned, including Shanti Devi and others by a reasoned and speaking order in accordance with law within a maximum period of 3 months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
