ASHA JYOTI W/O KAILASH CHAUDHARY R/O VILL- MOHRA GHAT, P.S- ALAULI, DISTT- KHAGARIA ----------- 02 25.06.2010 The four petitioners have challenged the appointment of respondent nos.7 to 12 to the post of Panchayat Teachers. Petitioners assert that the aforesaid respondents have been appointed as Panchayat Teachers in Alauli Block in the district of Khagaria, even though petitioners were more meritorious the appointments were made for mala fide consideration as well. It is pointed out that respondent no.9, Ranjana Kumari is the daughter of the Panchayat Secretary of the said Gram Panchayat, whereas - 2 - respondent no.11, Sobha Kumari is the daughter of the Mukhiya of the Gram Panchayat Chera Khera of Block Alauli. They have each conspired to give employment to their wards. In my view, a District Panchayat Teachers Appellate Tribunal has been statutorily set up which had the jurisdiction to decide the validity of appointment or non-appointment. The petitioners must approach the said Tribunal for redressal of their grievances. If such an application is filed within four weeks from today, the Tribunal would entertain the same after noticing the concern parties and hearing the matter in detail would pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of three months from the date proceedings are taken by the Tribunal. With these observations and directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Trivedi (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
