HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No: 8881 of 2008 Dated 8-7-2010 Between: Smt. Ch.Usha Rani. …Petitioner. And: The District Collector and Magistrate, Medak District, Medak at Sanga Reddy and others. .....Respondents. THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.8881 OF 2008 ORDER : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not appointing the petitioner in the post of Anganwadi Worker in pursuance of the notification dated 31.8.2007 is arbitrary and illegal. It is pleaded by the petitioner that she had attended the interview on 24.9.2007 in the office of Revenue Divisional Officer, Siddipet. However out of 146 posts that were notified in the category of Anganwadi Teachers only 9 posts were filled up. Contending that she could not get the appointment as the respondents failed to fill up all the posts notified, she made a representation dated 7.3.2008 requesting the District Collector, Medak to take appropriate action. Since her representation was not considered, the present writ petition has been filed. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the 3rd respondent – Project Officer, Women and Child Welfare Department – it is stated that total 146 posts of Anganwadi Workers & Helpers were notified in Gazwel ICDS Project which was one of the “11 Projects newly sanctioned in Medak District”. Though the petitioner was sent a call letter and she had also attended the interview, it was subsequently found that she had applied for the post of Anganwadi worker at Ganeshpalli Village which was not sanctioned and which was not notified at all. By inadvertence, call letter was issued to the petitioner to attend interview on 24.9.2007 and the mistake was noticed even before the interview. It was informed to the petitioner before commencement of the interview and she was not interviewed at all by the Divisional Selection Committee. The stand taken by the respondent that there is no center in Ganeshpalli village and the notification dated 31.8.2007 did not relate to Ganeshpalli village of Jagdevpur Mandal could not be disputed by the petitioner. It is also explained in the counter-affidavit that the anganwadi centres sanctioned for a particular village cannot be transferred to another place and therefore the petitioner’s candidature cannot be considered for any other village as per the rules laid down in G.O.Ms.No.21, dated 24.8.2007, according to which the anganwadi worker or helper must be a local married woman. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the relief as prayed for cannot be granted and accordingly the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. ____________ G. ROHINI, J.
