Petitioner seeks direction to the authorities for appointing him on the post of Panchayat Teacher in 2 Gram Panchayat Raj, Bhopatapur, Gopalganj. It is submitted that the petitioner duly applied for his appointment at the post of Panchayat Teacher for the vacancy reserved for Scheduled Caste and he was shown selected as per the selection list prepared by the authorities, which has been appended as Annexure 7 to this writ petition. However, respondent nos. 13 and 14 , whose names neither appear in the selection list nor even in the waiting list, have been appointed even though they secured lesser marks than the petitioner. Learned counsel appearing for the State submits that for the redressal of the grievances with regard for appointment on the post of Panchayat Teacher, the appellate authority has already been constituted and is functioning. However, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has approached the authority by filing a representation as contained in Annexure 8, which was received by the authority on 22.2.2011 itself but no order has been passed by the authority till date. In above view of the matter, this writ application is being disposed of with a direction to the 3 aforesaid authority, i.e., respondent no. 10, the District Teacher Employment Appellate Authority, Gopalganj, to treat the Annexure 8 as an appeal and consider the same on its own merit and dispose of the same within three months from the date of receipt / production of a copy of this order by passing a reasoned order, if the same has been filed by the petitioner and is yet to be disposed of. Accordingly this writ application stands disposed of in terms of the observation and direction as indicated above. Spd/- ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
