Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR through its Secretary, Welfare Department. 2.District Magistrate, Banka. 3.District Welfare Officer, Banka. 4.Jageshwar Marandi, Mukhiya, Gram Panhayat, Bhitia Block Phoolidoomer. 5.Sukhchandra Jha, Invigilator-in-Charge, Block Phoolidoomer, Banka. 6.Ganesh Mandal, Secretary Gram Panchayat Bhitia, banka. 7.Madhuri Devi, wife of Sikandar Singh, resident of village Angrazoor P.S. Phoolidoomer, District Banka at present Anganwari Sevika, Bhitia center Kathdar, Block Phoolidoomer. ----------- 2 4/12/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “(i)To cancel the appointment of Madhuri Devi (Respondent no.7) for the post of Anganwari Sevika and directing the respondents to appoint the petitioner on the said post. (ii)To hold the respondent no.7 is not eligible for the post of Anganbari Sevika though the petitioner is more competent and qualified in comparison to Respondent no.7.” Counsel for the petitioner, however, on being asked as to whether the petitioner had approached the Collector of the district for redressal of her aforementioned grievances pertaining to selection/appointment of 2 Anganbari Sevika, would fairly admit that no representation was filed for this purpose by the petitioner. In that view of the matter, this Court would hold this writ application be premature and give liberty to the petitioner to file a representation wherein all the issues relating to selection and appointment on the post of Anganbari Sevika of the petitioner vis-a-vis Respondent no. 7 would be raised and the Collector of the district would dispose of the same within a period of six months from the date of receipt of such representation by a speaking order after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, respondent no.7 as also the representative of the concerned Gram Panchayat. With the aforementioned observation/direction this application is disposed of. Abhay Kumar (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
