Since the post of Anganbari Sevika is not a permanent appointment under the State but is a hiring on contract for a limited period of time on a fixed remuneration, the learned Single Judge refused to exercise jurisdiction or discretion in the given facts. This

Patna High Court LPA No.1524 of 2013 dt.01-03-2017 2/2 Court will not compel him to do so since Article 226 is a discretionary remedy.
