BANDANA DEVI @ BANDANA SINGH W/O SRI ASHOK SINGH R/O VILL NARAON, P.S.AWTARNAGAR, DISTT-SARAN ----------- 2/ 16/11/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner claims to have been appointed as Secretary, Gram Kutchery, Naraon and is aggrieved by orders of her termination in preference to respondent No.7. It is her further claim that she was at serial No.1 in the merit list and had joined after her selection on 15.9.2009. The petitioner appears to have rushed directly to this Court without availing her statutory remedies under Rule-12 of the Bihar Gram Kutchery Secretary (Appointment, Service Conditions and Duties) Rules, 2007 before the Sub-divisional Officer. The application is disposed with the observation that if the petitioner files such an application before the Sub-divisional Officer within a period of 30 days from today the Sub-divisional - 2 - Officer shall proceed to hear the same and after hearing all concerned, including respondent No.7 dispose it off by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of 30 days stipulated in Rule-12 of Rule to be computed from the date of presentation of the application by the petitioner. The writ application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
