The writ application, raising a challenge to the termination of service of the petitioner on the post of Block Teacher in the first instance, is not maintainable before this Court, inasmuch as, the petitioner has not moved the statutory authority as named under Rule 18 of the Bihar Panchayat Shikshak Appointment Rules, 2006. In the considered opinion of this Court, counsel for the State has taken a valid objection and, therefore, this writ application is dismissed as not maintainable. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
