Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:18314 Court No. - 18 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 3481 of 2025 Petitioner :- Seema Singh Respondent :- State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Basic Education Deptt. Lko. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Saurabh Gautam,Ritu Shukla Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel who has accepted notice on behalf of respondents. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for issuance of a writ of mandamus directing respondent No.2 to select the petitioner for the post of Anganbari worker. Learned Standing Counsel on the basis of written instructions which are taken on record submits that the petitioner has given income certificate issued on 30.12.2023 showing income of Rs.3,500/- per month whereas the date of advertisement is 26.9.2024 and thus, it is submitted that the income certificate has been issued six months beyond the date of advertisement. A perusal of the government order dated 21.3.2023 para 3-Cha(3) provides that the income certificate should have been issued by the Tehsildar within six months from the date of advertisement. In this case, admittedly, the income certificate of the petitioner has been issued on 30.12.2023 which is beyond six months from the date of advertisement which is of 26.9.2024 and it appears that on this ground, the income certificate of the petitioner has not been accepted and she has been considered as a candidate who is above poverty line and not below the poverty line. Accordingly, the petitioner cannot be selected on the post of Anganbari Worker. In view of the above discussion as also the written instructions produced by learned Standing Counsel, the writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed.
