Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned counsel appearing for the Respondent-State.

2 Petitioner, along with others, has participated in the selection process for selection of Angan Bari Sevika for the Centre in question. Petitioner's case is that she was at Serial No

3 in the merit list. The first candidate did not appear. It is submitted that the second candidate suffered from disqualification in terms of Clause 6 of the Guidelines of 2016. The disqualification being relied upon by the petitioner's counsel is as follows:

"आयोग्यता - सरकारी/गैर सरकारी नियोजन में कार्यरत व्यक्ति जिनकी मासिक आय 12000/- (बारह हजार) रू. या उससे ज्यादा है /जन प्रतिनिधि/संबंधित प्रखंड के जन वितरण प्रणाली बिक्रेता की पत्नी /बहू सेविका/सहायकिा के चयन के लिए आयोग्य होगीं। यदि किसी अभ्यर्थी को किसी न्यायालय से दण्डिता किया गया हो तो उसे भी आगनबाड़ी सेविका/ सहायिका के पद के लिए चयनित नहीं किया जायेगा।"

3 The fact has been considered by the District Magistrate. Taking note of the fact that the father-in-law of the second empanelled candidate, namely Anjana Kumari was not a Government servant and he was only discharging his duties on contractual basis in the Special Auxiliary Police, the District Magistrate has held that the disqualification under Clause 6 of the Guidelines of 2016 is not attracted in the case of the private Respondent.

4 From bare reading of the disqualification Clause, it is apparent that the same contemplates disqualification when husband/father-in-law of the applicant is in Government employment and the same does not speak of any disqualification in respect of contractual employment.

5 Conclusion of the District Magistrate does not require any interference.

6 Writ petition is dismissed.
