IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD HON’BLE Mr. JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.27432 of 2006 Dated: January 05, 2007 Between: Essarapu Vijaya alias Vijayamma, W/o. Venkaiah, Aged about 36 years, Occupation: Housewife, R/o. Alliguntapalem Village, Kavali Mandal, Nellore District. … Petitioner And The District Collector, Nellore, Office at Collectorate office, Nellore District, and others. … Respondents Order: This Writ Petition has been filed by the petitioner, who is an applicant to the post of Anganwadi Teacher, seeking Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents 1 to 3 in entertaining the applications of respondents 4 and 5 to the post of Anganwadi Teachers in Alliguntapalem Village, Kavali Mandal, Nellore District as arbitrary and illegal. 2. The case of the petitioner is that the second respondent has issued notification, inviting applications for appointment to the post of Anganwadi Teachers in Alliguntapalem Village, Kavali Mandal, Nellore District. It is stated that as per the norms notified, the applicant should be local resident of the said village and must have passed X class. The grievance of the petitioner is that though respondents 4 and 5 do not possess the requisite educational qualification notified, i.e. X class, respondents have received their applications and are taking further steps. It is stated that petitioner has filed a representation dated 15-12-2006 before the first respondent bringing to his notice about the ineligibility of respondents 4 and 5, however no action has yet been taken. 3. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Women Development and Child Welfare appearing for the respondents. 4. As much as no appointments have yet been made to the aforesaid post, this court need not examine the qualifications of the petitioner vis-à-vis the qualifications of respondents 4 and 5. Whether they are qualified and eligible for appointment to the post of Anganwadi Teachers is a matter, which cannot be decided by this court at this stage. 5. As it is stated that the petitioner has submitted representation dated 15-12-2006 to the first respondent, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition permitting the petitioner to submit a copy of the aforesaid representation to the second respondent also, who has notified the post of Anganwadi Teachers. On such representation being submitted, respondents 1 and 2 are directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders, before final selections are made for appointment to the post of Anganwadi Teachers in Alliguntapalem Village, Kavali Mandal, Nellore District. 6. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________________ JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY. January 05, 2007 N.B. Furnish C.C. in two days B.O. MRR
