The matter relates to appointment of Panchayat Teachers in the year 2006. As many as 77 candidates had applied against six posts. The petitioner was not selected and others including respondent No.9 were appointed as Panchayat Teachers. The petitioner did not file any appeal before the then competent authority under Rule 18 of the 2 Bihar Panchayat Primary Teacher (Appointment and Service Condition) Rules, 2006 nor before the District Teacher Employment Appellate Authority, which became the competent authority with effect from 26.8.2008, when Rule 18 was amended. The petitioner has now directly come to this Court seeking a direction upon the respondents to act in accordance with an order dated 25.11.2009 passed by the District Teacher Employment Appellate Authority, Muzaffarpur in Case No. 1921 of 2009 filed before it by the Mukhiya and Panchayat Secretary of the Gram Panchayat, Bariyarpur in which the appointment process had been cancelled and a direction was issued to take fresh steps in the matter. It is evident that the petitioner did not assail her rights before any of the statutory authorities after the appointment process was over and thus she cannot be permitted to assail the said appointment or seek direction upon the respondents at this belated stage. Moreover, it is pointed out that the order dated 25.11.2009 of the Appellate Authority has been challenged by one of the affected Panchayat Teachers, namely, Annu Sharma, in 3 C.W.J.C.No.245 of 2010, which is pending before this Court. In the above circumstances, the writ application does not appear to be maintainable at the behest of the petitioner at this belated stage. It is, accordingly, dismissed. (Ramesh Kumar Datta,J.) Spal/
