Madan Prasad Singh, Head Master of Primary School Kothua, Piro, District Bhojpur…………………………………………………………………………..Respondents --------- 2 16.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. The earlier writ application of the petitioner was disposed of by this Court, vide Annexure-6, granting him liberty to represent before the Collector against his premature termination and for payment of remuneration of the period he had actually worked. The representation of the petitioner has been disposed of by the Collector, vide order dated 04.07.2008 (Annexure-8), in which though he has passed orders for payment of remuneration of the period petitioner had actually 2 worked, he has not set aside termination order of the petitioner. The writ application of the petitioner was disposed of before 2006 Rules came into force. After Rules came into force, no Government authority had any jurisdiction to pass any order in respect of appointment or otherwise and/or any service condition of a Panchayat Teacher. In terms of 2008 Amendment in the Rules, it is now the Appellate Authority in the districts which only has jurisdiction to look into the grievances of Panchayat Teachers in respect of their appointment, termination and service conditions. In the circumstances, petitioner is granted liberty to file a representation before the Appellate Authority against the said order of termination for which he had moved this Court earlier. If he does so, the Appellate Authority shall consider his representation, shall issue notice to the concerned parties, shall call for the original records, if necessary, and shall dispose it of in accordance with law on 3 merits preferably within the time limit fixed under the Rules for disposal of the representation without being swayed away by the order of the Collector. This application is disposed of with the observations and directions. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
