Let the affidavit of service filed by the petitioner
in Court today be kept with the records.
The petitioner in this writ petition was appointed
as a Sishu Shikhsa Sahayika at Bachamari Halder
Para Shishu Shiksha Kendra under old Malda
Municipality on August 1, 2008, on contractual basis.
On April 30, 2014, her service was discontinued by the
Director of Local Bodies on the ground that she was
under-aged.
It is submitted that the petitioner is presently
aged about 42 years and in similar circumstances,
different Co-ordinate Benches of this Court directed
the relevant authority to consider their case of re-
engagement as Sishu Shiksha Sahayikas.
The Director of Local Bodies is, therefore,
directed to consider the re-engagement of the
petitioner in accordance with law and in the light of
2
the observations recorded hereinabove and also in
terms of the guidelines dated May 30, 2000, especially
Clause 7(ka), within one month from the date of
communication of this order and communicate his
decision to the petitioner forthwith. This court has not
entered into the merits of the claim of the petitioner.
Accordingly, WPA 18997 of 2024 is disposed of.
Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if
applied for, be supplied to the learned advocates for
the parties on usual undertakings.
