Petitioner’s grievance is that his appointment as Panchayat Teacher has been cancelled by order dated 16.1.2008, passed by the Mukhia, Gram Panchayat Raj Akbarpur Barari district Begusarai. The impugned order has been challenged on the ground that Mukhia has no jurisdiction to pass the impugned order and also that it has been issued in violation of rule of natural justice.
