Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that without giving any notice and granting any opportunity of hearing, vide order dated 2.2.2022 (Annexure P1) the mid day meal assignment allotted to the petitioner has been cancelled and respondent No.5 has been directed to do the said work of mid day meal, which is not in accordance with law. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the State submits that the petitioner has violated the conditions of the assignment of mid day meal and, therefore, their allotment has been cancelled. Clause 7 of the impugned order clearly mentions that the allotment can be cancelled without issuing any notice, as such the impugned order has rightly been passed. 3. This Court has passed an order on 14.2.2022 while granting stay in respect of the effect and operation of the impugned order Annexure P1. However, the petitioner has directly approached this Court. Since the petitioner has not approached the concerned Collector, who is to decide the representation/objection/complaint of the petitioner, in respect of the aforesaid stay order dated 14.2.2022, the petitioner is directed to approach before the concerned Collector for redressal of their grievances. However, the concerned Collector shall examine the matter and pass 3 appropriate orders in accordance with law. It is made clear that this Court has not passed any order on merits of the case and only for the reason the aforesaid order of stay has been granted by this Court, the same is being forwarded to the Collector for necessary action and passing appropriate orders. The Collector is directed to decide the application/representation of the petitioner within a period of 15 days from the date of production of a copy of this order. The Collector is further directed to scrutinise the matter with utmost care looking to the fact that the mid day meal programme has been initiated by the Central Government for betterment of the students and if any anomaly is found in supply of the mid day meal, the Collector is empowered to take appropriate action. 4. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) JUDGE Gopal Singh
