Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:25241 Court No. - 18 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 4385 of 2025 Petitioner :- Smt. Kasturba Respondent :- State Of U.P. Thru. Its Secy. Child Development And Nutrition And 4 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Deepak Singh,Rakesh Kumar Trivedi Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Learned Standing Counsel, on the basis of written instructions, has submitted that there are two posts of Anganwari Karyakatri in the village, both of which are reserved for candidates belonging to the Other Backward Classes (OBC). As the petitioner belongs to the General category, her candidature cannot be considered for selection to these posts. In light of the aforesaid instructions, although the petitioner is presently working as an Assistant Anganwari Worker, she is not eligible for selection to a post reserved for the OBC category, as she admittedly does not belong to that category. Accordingly, the petition, being devoid of merit, is dismissed. Instructions provided by the learned Standing Counsel are taken on record. Order Date :- 30.4.2025 R.C.
