JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE respondents were directed to produce the record only to ensure whether the appellant (petitioner in the writ petition) belongs to any of the feeding villages to Anganwari Centre Ghaloura. Mr. Gian Chand Sharma, District Programme Officer, Kangra has produced the record. We have gone through the record. It is evident from the record that for Anganwari Centre, Ghaloura, the feeding villages are Ghaloura itself, Dahog and Blararu. The appellant does not belong to any of these villages. Thus she was not entitled for appointment to the post of Anganwari Worker. However, Mr. Dinesh Bhanot, learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that the family income of respondent No. 3 is more than rupees twelve thousand. It is made clear that in the event of offering appointment to respondent No. 3, her income shall also be verified by the District Programme Officer, Kangra.
