Petitioner has moved this Court for a direction to the respondents to determine her seniority vis-à-vis respondent no.6 as Panchayat Teacher. Since statutory Appellate Authority has been constituted under Bihar Panchayat Prarambhik Shikshak (Niyojan Avam Seva Sart) Niyamvali, 2006 (as amended by 2 Amendment Act, 2008) in 2008 which has been empowered to entertain all complaints in connection with appointment of Panchayat Teachers, this Court has already held that the matter connected with the appointment shall include all other service conditions and, therefore, the Appellate Authority has power to consider the claim of the petitioner also. In the circumstances, the writ application is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to approach the concerned Appellate Authority in accordance with law for consideration of her grievances.
