The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “i) For quashing the Memo No. 88/Sa. Dated 15.6.2007, whereby and whereunder the respondent no. 11 (Urmila Kumari) has been illegally appointed by the C.D.P.O.-cum- Block Development Officer, Dumaria (respondent no. 8) as Anganwari Sevika for newly created centre of Hariyobara under Gram Panchayat, Narayanpur, Dumaria Block, Gaya (Annexure-10). (ii) For commanding the respondent authority to treat the appointment of the petitioner as Anganwari Sevika as final for newly 2 created centre of Anganbari Sevika at village- Hariyobar under Gram Panchayat, Narayanpur, Dumaria Block, Gaya since 18.5.2007 vide letter No. 1 (Gram. Pan.) (Annexure-8). iii) For commanding the respondent authority to pay honorarium to the petitioner since the date of her appointment with arrears forthwith and further be directed to send the petitioner for training as of Anganwari Sevika as contemplated under the scheme of the State Government and by an interim order the respondents be directed to treat the petitioner as duly appointed Anganbari Sevika and be sent for training.” Counsel for the petitioner with reference to the aforementioned relief would fairly accept the position that the petitioner has not exhausted the alternative remedy and has not approached the Collector who is the Prescribed Authority to decide such question relating to any sort of anomaly in selection/appointment of Anganwari Sevika/Sahayka. That being so, this court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a compact representation before the Collector of the District who after affording opportunity of 3 hearing to the petitioner, respondent no. 11 as also representative of concerned gram panchayat shall pass the final order within the time limit as fixed recently under the Circular of the State Government dated 10.12.2009. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
