THE MUKHIYA GRAM PANCHAYAT RAJ CHAILLAHA BLOCK &P.S.BANJARIYA, DISTT-EAST CHAMPARAN(MOTIHARI) ----------- 2 12/05/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Annexure-10 is the order passed by the District Teachers Appointment Appellate Authority, East Champaran at Motihari in case No. 504 of 2009. Claim of the petitioner for appointment on the post of Panchayat Shiksha Mitra relating to the year 2004 has been rejected not only on merit but also on the ground that the application or the claim was time barred based on the ratio decided in the case of Alok Kumar Vs. State of Bihar & others reported in 2009 (2) PLJR, - 2 - 929. In addition to the rationale given by the Appellate Authority, this Court cannot lose sight of the fact that the post of Panchayat Shiksha Mitra came to an end with effect from 1.7.2006 and to that extent no person can be appointed on a non existent post whatever be the merit of the claim of the petitioner if there was one. There was a time frame within which the dispute could have been raised and the petitioner could have got some kind of relief if the occasion for the same could have arisen but it is too late in the day now to give any relief to the petitioner after so many years and in the changed circumstance as noted above. Since the Appellate Authority has committed no illegality, no interference with the order is required to be made. This writ application is dismissed. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
