Judgment
The present writ petition has been filed for quashing part
of the proceedings of the meeting of the Gram Sabha dated 26.04.2007
in which the private respondent no. 10 had been selected as Anganwari
Sevika in respect of Anganwari Kendra, Abgila South.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that after due
enquiry it was found that irregularities have been committed in
selection of Anganwari Sevika of Anganwari Kendra, Abgila South and
accordingly recommendation had been made by the District
Programme Officer, Gaya for cancelling the selection made. It is
submitted that the private respondent no. 10 had been selected
despite the fact that she was a daughter of the beneficiary area of the
Anganwari Kendra and hence not eligible to be selected. It is submitted
that the petitioner is a daughter-in-law of the beneficiary area of the
Kendra and ought to have been selected for appointment.
Learned counsel for the respondent no. 10 appears and
opposes the writ petition submitting that as a matter of fact she was
married to Mr. S. Neyaz Ahmad Quadri of the same village who had
settled permanently in the said village since long. It is therefore,
submitted that the respondent no. 10 is equally a daughter-in-law of
the beneficiary area of the Anganwari Kendra.
Having heard learned counsel for the parties and on
consideration of the materials on record, this Court is not inclined to
interfere in the matter. The respondent no. 10 claims to be a daughter-
in-law of the beneficiary area of the Kendra since before her selection
as Anganwari Sevika which fact has not specifically been controverted
in the rejoinder filed by the petitioner. Prima facie, a copy of the
voters'' list enclosed with the counter affidavit supports her stand of
being a daughter-in-law of the beneficiary area of the Kendra in
question. This Court, therefore, does not find any infirmity in the
decision of the Gram Sabha taken in its meeting dated 26.04.2007.
The writ petition accordingly stands dismissed.
