Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:25412 Court No. - 18 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 4762 of 2025 Petitioner :- Smt. Roopa Respondent :- State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Bal Vikas Seva Evam Pushtahar Vibhag Lko. And 4 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Vijayendra Prakash Tripathi,Dharmendra Maurya Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for respondent Nos. 1 to 4. Notice to respondent no. 5 is dispensed with in view of the proposed order. The petitioner, by the present writ petition, seeks quashing of the selection of respondent no. 5 to the post of Anganwari Karyakatri at Anganwari Centre–Singahi-II, Village Panchayat Singraura, H/O Singahi, P.S. Maharajganj Tarai, Tehsil Tulsipur, District Balrampur. A further prayer has been made for the petitioner’s appointment to the said post and for conducting an inquiry into the issuance of the income certificate in favour of respondent no. 5. Learned Standing Counsel, on the basis of written instructions, submits that respondent no. 5 belongs to the Below Poverty Line (BPL) category; her income certificate reflects an annual income of less than Rs. 46,000/-. She is educationally qualified, having passed Intermediate and B.A., and has secured 10.598 marks. In contrast, the petitioner belongs to the Above Poverty Line (APL) category and has secured only 6.36 marks, thus being placed at serial no. 2 in the select list. So far as the petitioner’s allegation that respondent no. 5 was wrongly declared a BPL candidate is concerned, no documentary evidence has been submitted with the petition to support this claim. At this stage, the Court cannot adjudicate upon disputed questions of fact. The petition, being devoid of merit, is accordingly dismissed. However, the petitioner is granted liberty to avail alternative remedies as available under law. Order Date :- 1.5.2025 R.C.
