HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH
S.K. Seth and Vijay Kumar Shukla, JJ.
Renu Vishwakarma v. Tulsi Vishwakarma & others
Writ Appeal No. 1158 of 2018 (Jabalpur); Decided on 8.4.2019.
The sole issue that has cropped up for consideration, as to whether the subsequent cancellation of BPL certificate of the present appellant after filing of her application for appointment on the post of Anganwadi Sahayika, would be relevant for consideration of her case in the selection. Undisputedly, on the date of filing of the application form the appellant was in possession of a valid BPL certificate and, therefore, she was awarded 10 extra marks towards BPL category by the selection committee.
Held: Thus analysed, we do not concur with the view taken by the learned Single Judge that the subsequent cancellation of the BPL certificate would dis-entitle the appellant from enuring the benefit of 10 marks meant for BPL category, especially when the said order has already been set aside.
Ex-consequenti, the writ appeal is allowed and the impugned order passed by the learned Single Bench is set aside.
(2) Appointment -- candidate must possess requisite qualification on the last date fixed for submitting application forms. (1993)2 SCC 429 and (2013)11 SCC 58 followed. [Para 15

Shukla, J. -- 1. The present intra-Court appeal is filed under section 2(1) of the M.P. Uchcha Nyayalaya (Khand Nyaypeeth ko Appeal) Adhiniyamn, 2005 challenging the order dated 9.8.2018 passed by the learned Single Judge whereby the writ petition filed by the respondent No.1 Tulsi Vishawakarma [hereinafter referred to as ‘the writ petitioner’] has been allowed.
2. Shorn of unnecessary details : The relevant facts lie in a narrow compass. An advertisement was issued on 31.3.2016 by the Collector (Women and Child Development), District Singrauli inviting applications for the post of Anganwadi Karyakarta/Anganwadi Sahayika. The controversy in the present case pertains to appointment of Anganwadi Sahayika in the Anganwadi Centre, Kasada, Gram Panchayat Naikahwa, District Singrauli. Pursuant to the advertisement the writ petitioner as well as Renu Vishwakarma, the appellant herein, along with other applied for the said post. On the basis of the applications received a tentative select list was prepared. The appellant was placed at Sr. No.1 having obtained 66.10 marks whereas the name of the writ petitioner featured at Sr. No.2 having scored 57.20 marks, as evident from Annexure-P/2.
3. As per Anganwadi Scheme objections were invited against the said tentative select list. Objection of the writ petitioner was that the appellant is not entitled for 10 marks towards BPL card as per Anganwadi Scheme and thus her marks were reduced from 66.10 to 56.10. In the final select list the writ petitioner was placed at Sr.No.1 and appointment order was issued in her favour on 12.8.2016.
4. Being aggrieved with the aforesaid order of appointment the appellant filed an appeal before the Collector, Singrauli on the ground that on the dates of submission of the application and last date of submission of application forms the appellant was having all eligible qualifications including BPL certificate etc. and, therefore, she was rightly given 10 marks for BPL category. The Collector by order dated 9.1.2017 allowed the appeal filed by the present appellant and held that on the date of submission of the application, the appellant was within the BPL category and, therefore, if the BPL certificate was subsequently cancelled, the same would not affect the selection already made. As on the last date of submission of the application forms, the appellant was having all requisite qualifications qua BPL certificate.
5. Feeling aggrieved with the order passed by the Collector, Singrauli the writ petitioner preferred an appeal before the Commissioner, Rewa Division, Rewa which was dismissed on 19.1.2017. The writ petition was filed challenging the order of the Collector, Singrauli dated 9.1.2017 as well as the order dated 19.1.2017 passed by the Additional Commissioner, Rewa Division Rewa. The writ petition has been allowed by the learned Single Judge which is subject-matter of challenge in the instant appeal.
6. The following dates are not disputed by the parties. The date of advertisement was 31.3.2016 and the date for submission of the applications commenced from 4.4.2016 to 21.4.2016. Thus, the last date for submission of the application forms was 21.4.2016. It is pertinent to mention here that the writ petitioner filed incomplete copy of the advertisement on record. None of the parties have filed the Scheme of appointment of Anganwadi Sahayika on record.
7. At the time of admission of the appeal on 5.9.2018 counsel appearing for the appellant submitted that the Sub-Divisional Officer, Chitrangi, District Singrauli by order dated 10.8.2018 has set aside the order of cancellation of BPL certificate issued in favour of the writ petitioner and, therefore, the status of the present appellant in BPL category stands restored. Learned counsel for the writ petitioner prayed for time to find out as to whether the order passed by the Sub-Divisional Officer, Chitrangi in respect of the BPL category of the appellant, has been challenged in further appeal or not.
