IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8915 of 2007 MD.AKBAR HUSSAIN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2/ 3/7/2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. A statement has been made in paragraph- 16 of the writ application that the petitioner has already availed his statutory remedy under Rule-18 of Bihar Panchayat Primary Teachers (Appointment and Service Conditions) Rules, 2006, with regard to the allegations of illegality in the appointment of Panchayat Teacher. When the statutory authority is already seized of the matter under the alternative forum, there is no occasion for this Court to exercise its powers under Article- 226 of the Constitution of India. No copy of the representation filed by the petitioner under Rule-18 or even the date thereof has been annexed in the writ application. The writ application is, therefore, disposed with the direction that if prior to the present order the petitioner has filed a representation before the statutory authority, he is naturally expected to consider and decide the same expeditiously after hearing all concerned.
