IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.1260 of 2009 1. Jai Kishore, son of Sri Jagdish Thakur, resident of village Jurobanpur Karari, P.S. Jurobanpur, District Vaishali 2. Nitesh Kumar, son of Sri Namonarayan Thakur, resident of village Jurabanpur Karari, P.S. Jurabanpur, District Vaishali … Petitioners Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. Commissioner cum Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Bihar, Patna 3. District Magistrate, Vaishali 4. District Superintendent of Education, Vaishali 5. Block Education Extension Officer, Raghopur, Vaishali 6. Mukhia, Panchayat Raj, Raghopur, Poorvi, Vaishali 7. Mukhia, Panchayat Raj, Jurabanpur, Karari, Vaishali … Respondents ---------------------------------- 6. 22.11.2011 Surendra/ Heard counsel for the parties. Admittedly the petitioners have a grievance with regard to their service condition relating to appointment on the post of Panchayat Shikshak and such grievance in the first instance in terms of Rule 18 of the Bihar Panchayat Shikshak Appointment Rules, 2006 has to be ventilated before the competent District Teachers Appellate Authority. The petitioners before moving this Court have never approached the authority and therefore, this writ application must be held to be not maintainable on account of non- exhausting statutory alternative remedy. This application is, accordingly, dismissed but such dismissal will not stand in the way of the petitioners in approaching the District Teachers Appellate Authority who will decide the matter on merits if the petitioners will file their complaint within a period of one month from today.
