In view of the alternative remedy of appeal available under the guidelines framed for appointment/removal of Anganbari Sewika which are not statutory in nature, and they are not Government servants, the Court is not persuaded to usurp the appellate jurisdiction. If the petitioner files such appeal within 30 days from today, let the same be considered by the appellate authority and disposed by a reasoned and speaking order after hearing all concerned preferably within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt and/ or presentation of such memo of appeal. The application stands disposed off. Md. Ibrarul ( Navin Sinha, J.)
