Sinha, learned Assistant Counsel to Standing Counsel No.8, for the opposite parties. This application under Article 215 of the Constitution of India, read with Sections 12 and 14 of the Contempt of Court’s Act 1971, has been filed for the alleged disobedience of the order dated 26.9.2008 (Annexure-1), passed in C.W.J.C. No. 11310 of 2008 (Shrawan Kishore Jha Vrs. The State of Bihar & Ors.), 2 whereby the respondent no.5 (Block Development Officer, Simri Bakhtiyarpur, Saharsa) was directed to dispose of the petitioner’s representation dated 30.6.2008 regarding appointment of Panchayat Shikshak in Gram Panchayat, Kathdumar, P.S. Bakhtiyarpur, District-Saharsa. The petitioner complains before this Court that the representation remains un-attended. Opposite Party No.6 has placed on record his show-cause wherein it is stated that, in view of memo no. 3153, dated 25.8.2008, the appellate power at the district level has now been vested in the body known as District Panchayat Teachers Appointment Appellate Tribunal. It is, therefore, submitted that opposite party no.5 has been divested of all authority to deal with such matters. In view of the change circumstances, we do not wish to pursue the matter any further. It goes without saying that it will be open to the petitioner to pursue his remedy in accordance with law. This application is accordingly disposed of. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar ,J. )
