2. Petitioner was an applicant for being engaged as Angan¬wadi Worker with respect to Kaupur, Belagadia Anganwadi Centre, district, Bhadrak. Her application was accepted and in the short list her name was reflected, but finally her candi¬dature was rejected on the ground that she does not reside in the service area of the aforesaid Anganwadi Centre. Thereafter, she preferred a writ application before this Court, which was dis¬posed of directing the Collector, Bhadrak to enquire into the matter and to decide, if irregularity, as alleged, has been committed and to pass necessary orders strictly in accordance with law and the guidelines.

Further case of the petitioner is that she has obtained the maximum marks in the HSC Examination among the applicants, and therefore, she is most eligible to be selected as Anganwadi Worker for the aforesaid Anganwadi Centre. It is further contend¬ed that though the Anganwadi Centre area has been notified, it has been done with material irregularities
