The instant writ application has been filed assailing the order of the District Programme Officer, Begusarai dated 25.06.2018.
In view of such objection regarding the writ
Patna High Court CWJC No.18574 of 2018(2) dt.30-11-2022 2/2 application having been filed without availing the alternative remedy under the extant guidelines, learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner will avail the opportunity of appeal/revision as per Clause-12 of the 2019 Guidelines for Selection of Aanganwari Sevika/Sahayika before the Divisional Commissioner, Munger.
He thereafter submits an apprehension that his appeal, if filed, is clearly to be met with the objection of delay. Since the instant writ application has been pending and the objection regarding alternative remedy has been raised by learned counsel for the State, this Court observes that if the petitioner avails the alternative remedy under the 2019 Guidelines before the Divisional Commissioner, Munger, within eight weeks, the same shall be considered on its merits, in accordance with law.
Writ application is disposed of.
