PANCHAYAT SECRETARY, GRAM PANCHAYAT RAJ- DEORA, BLOCK HASANPUR, DISTT.- SAMASTIPUR ............RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2/ 29.03.2010 Petitioner has prayed for a direction to the respondents to appoint him on the post of Panchayat Teracher/Prakhand Teacher in any of the Panchayats of Samastipur district especially in the Deora Gram Panchayat, against the post of reserved for handicapped (Visually disabled). Petitioner’s further grievance is that the appeal preferred before the District Teachers Employment Appellate Tribunal, Samastipur, has not been disposed of, till date. The representation filed by the petitioner before the Chief Minister, Bihar Janata Darbar, was referred to District Teachers Employment Appellate Tribunal, Samastipur and appeal was registered. The appellate authority is not proceeding with the matter and still it is pending. Considering the fact that, in the matters of Panchayat/Prakhand Teachers’ appointment, if, any complaint is made for deciding that complaint, there is statutory provision under Rule 18 of Bihar Panchayat Primary Teacher’ (Appointment and Service - 2 - Conditions) Rules. The appellate Tribunal is authorized to decide such issues/complaints. Petitioner’s complaint is already pending before the Tribunal, as such, this application is being disposed of, directing the Tribunal to decide petitioner’s appeal within the statutory period, considering its merit, after issuing proper notice to all concerned. The appeal must be decided within the statutory period i.e. 90 days. Sanjeet/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
