Petitioner Aanganwari Sewika is aggrieved by the order dated 28.6.2008, Annexure-9 whereunder her appointment as Aanganwari Sewika has been terminated by the District Magistrate, Saharsa against which she preferred an appeal, which was dismissed by the Divisional Commissioner, Koshi Division, Saharsa under order dated 31.3.2009, Annexure-12. Perusal of the order dated 31.3.2009 indicates that the appellate order is a cryptic order and does not contain any reasons. It is well settled that the appellate order should also contain reasons. In the circumstances, the appellate order 2 bearing Memo No. 156 dated 31.3.2009, Annexure-12 is set aside with direction to the Divisional Commissioner, Koshi Division, Saharsa to reconsider Appeal Case No. 17 of 2008 and pass a fresh reasoned order in accordance with law as early as possible, in any case, within two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. Rajesh/ (V.N.Sinha, J.)
