The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir dismissed Deep Mala's writ petition challenging the 2023 Anganwadi Worker recruitment advertisement. The court held that since the advertisement was issued after a new recruitment policy (Govt. Order 222-JK of 2022) superseded the previous 2017 policy, the old criteria granting preference to existing helpers could not be applied to the selection process.
