JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 2. 4.2.2011. This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution is filed by the petitioner in public interest to seek direction to the State of Bihar to complete the selection process for appointment of Primary Panchayat Teachers initiated by notification dated 1st July 2006. Reliance is placed on the orders of this Court dated 5th October 2009 made on C.W.J.C. No. 10488 of 2009 (Baby Devi v. The State of Bihar & Ors) and dated 8th September 2009 made on C.W.J.C. No. 10507 of 2009 (Md. Mustafa v. The State of Bihar & Ors.). In both the above matters this Court has relegated the concerned petitioner to the alternative remedy under Rule 18 of the Bihar Panchayat Elementary Teachers (Recruitment and Conditions of - 2 - Service) Rules, 2006. Nevertheless, the present petitioner has instead of approaching the authority under Rule 18 of the Rules has filed this petition in public interest. In our opinion, the petition is thoroughly misconceived. The petition is dismissed in limine. Pawan/- (R.M. Doshit, CJ) (Jyoti Saran, J)
