IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3133 of 2009 MD.ASHRAF ALI son of Md. Aiyub Ahmad, resident of village – Dhama, P.S. – Raniganj, District – Araria. _____________ Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through the Principal Secretary, Human Resources Department, Patna. 2. The District Magistrate, District Araria. 3. The District Superintendent of Education, District – Araria. 4. The Block Development Officer cum Block Education Extension Officer under Raniganj, District – Araria. 5. The Mukhia Gram Panchayat Dhama Block Raniganj, District – Araria. 6. Panchayat Secretary, Panchayat Dhama Block Raniganj, District – Araria. __________ Respondents ----------- 02. 16.03.2009 After having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the claim made by the petitioner in the present writ application the Court is of the view that the proper forum for the petitioner at this stage will be to move the Tribunal constituted at the district level for looking into the allegations relating to appointment or non-appointment of Panchayat teachers. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the tribunal at times is expressing its reservation to entertain the matter prior to its constitution. The submission seems to be misplaced because tribunal is the authority to look at all disputes relating to such appointments whether it is prior to constitution or post constitution. It is hoped and expected that expeditious decision shall be rendered by the tribunal after hearing the petitioner. - 2 - The writ application stands disposed of with the above observation. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
