IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4579 of 2007 PAWAN KUMAR SAH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 29.4.2009 Leave is sought to withdraw the application to move before the Appellate tribunal in context of the denial of appointment of Siksha Mitra which if granted would have continued giving the deemed status in law to the petitioner of a Panchayat Teacher on 1.7.2006. The writ application is permitted to be withdrawn with liberty as aforesaid. It is made clear that this Court has not gone into the merits of the matter which remains to be decided by the appellate authority in accordance with law by a reasoned and speaking order after hearing all concerned likely to be affected by the order. Learned counsel for the petitioner is right in his submission that the notification or the rules creating the Appellate authority impose no time limits with regard to the nature of the claims that can be entertained by the Appellate authority. Any such application is required to be disposed off in accordance with law within the statutory time fixed under Rule 2 of the notification creating the authority to be computed from the date that the petitioner files his application before the authority.
