JUSTICE DR. ANSHUMAN ORAL ORDER 4 20-03-2025 Upon repeated calls, no one appears on behalf of the petitioner. Learned Counsel for the State is present and Learned Counsel on behalf of Private Respondent no.5 appears suo- moto.
2. Learned Counsel for the State submits that the present writ petition is not maintainable due to the reason that the petitioner has challenged the selection of Private Respondent no.5 for the post of Anganwadi Sevika directly before this Hon’ble Court in-spite of the fact that under the relevant
Patna High Court CWJC No.3970 of 2017(4) dt.20-03-2025 2/2 margdarshika for appointment of Anganwadi Sevika & Sahayika, Statutory Authority is there before whom such, appointment has to be challenged. Counsel further submits that vide order no.3 dated 12.12.2024, no one appeared on behalf of the petitioner. And today also, no one appears on behalf of the petitioner.
3. Upon perusal of the records, it transpires to this Court that the petitioner has moved directly before this Court instead of availing the remedy before the Statutory Authority framed under the relevant margdarshika for appointment of Anganwadi Sevika & Sahayika.
4. In this view of the matter, this writ petition is hereby dismissed with liberty granted to the petitioner to avail the remedy before the Statutory Authority under the relevant margdarshika for appointment of Anganwadi Sevika & Sahayika if, cause of action still survives.
