Patna High Court – Orders
Navita Devi vs The State Of Bihar & Ors on 5 July, 2011
                  IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
                            CWJC No.2829 of 2011
                                Navita Devi
                                   Versus
                          The State Of Bihar & Ors
                                -----------

2 5.7.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties.

Annexure-2 is the order passed by the District

Magistrate, Bhagalpur removing the petitioner from the post of

Anganbari Sevika.

The said order is under challenge on a limited

ground. Even according to the observation made by the Divisional

Commissioner it is the District Programme Officer who has to

carry an enquiry submit a report to the District Magistrate and the

District Magistrate will thereafter pass an order after giving an

opportunity to petitioner. That was the original procedure. But

since the policy has undergone a change now that is what has been

reflected in the order of the Divisional Commissioner.

Even from perusal of annexure-2 the procedure

laid down in the earlier policy has not been followed.

If that be so then annexure-2 is quashed and this

writ application is allowed. The matter is remitted back to

concerned authority with a direction that he will take fresh

decision in the light of the policy laid down in this regard.

This writ application is allowed.
