Mukhiya (Asha Devi), Panchayat Jamuawan Village Kewri, P.S. Khizersarai, District Gaya. 5. The Principal, Baleshwar Rajak, Madhya Vidyalaya Jamura, Block Khizersarai, District Gaya…………………………………………………………………..Respondents ----------- 4. 21.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. Petitioner claims to have been appointed as Shiksha Mitra and to have continued as Panchayat Teacher till 10.08.2007 when his appointment was cancelled on the ground that the cases of two other candidates with higher marks had not been considered. The grievance of the petitioner is that in the enquiry which was held in which two candidates with higher marks were found to be left out, petitioner was not noticed and heard. It is submitted that in fact, in the Counselling the said two candidates had not appeared and, therefore, petitioner was 2 appointed. It is submitted that an enquiry was earlier held by the higher authority and he has found the case of the petitioner to be genuine. It may be so but it all requires verification of facts from records of the case. Petitioner has an alternative remedy before the statutory Appellate Authority which can more appropriately and conveniently go through the original records and verify the disputed question of facts. In the circumstances, the writ application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the Appellate Authority within four weeks from today. If he does so, the Appellate Authority shall call for the original records, issue notice to the concerned parties, give them an opportunity to be heard in the matter and shall decide the matter in accordance with law, without going into the question of limitation, within the time limit prescribed under the Rules for disposal of such appeal/representation.
