The petitioner who has been working as a temporary Anganwadi Worker has approached this Court again complaining that the vacancies of Anganwadi Workers are going to be filled up by promotion of Anganwadi Helpers.

2. In Ext.P5 judgment itself this Court had made it clear that the Anganwadi Workers will get preference only after exhausting the 25% quota set apart from Anganwadi Helpers. In Ext.P5 judgment, the instructions received from the Government Pleader was recorded. According to which, there are 31 posts of Anganwadi Workers and as at present there is only one person holding the post of Anganwadi Worker on being promoted from the post of Anganwadi Helper. Therefore the vacancies which are arising are to be allocated to 25% quota of Anganwadi Workers. That writ petition is disposed of directing the 1 st respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner. Even before the representation was considered petitioner has again filed this writ petition stating that the vacancy of Anganwadi Worker available under ICDS Tuneri project in Puramery Grama Panchayath is going to be filled up by promotion of Anganwadi Helpers without considering the seniority list of the temporary Anganwadi Workers.
