Anjum Ara vs The State Of Bihar

The Supreme Court held that Clause 4.9 of the Anganwari Sevika Guidelines, 2011, which disqualified candidates based on family members' government employment, violates Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. The Court found that the High Court erred in dismissing the appellant's writ petition and Letters Patent Appeal, as the clause had already been struck down in a prior case. The Court reinstated the appellant's appointment as Anganwari Sevika, emphasizing the need for compliance with constitutional principles.
