EAST CHAMPARAN 8. DISTRICT TEACHER APPOINTMENT APPELLATE TRIBUNAL EAST CHAMPARAN, MOTIHARI ----------- 05. 16.5.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. It is obvious that the learned Member of the District Teachers Employment Appellate Authority, East Champaran is not well versed with the rules and the procedure laid down with regard to adjudication of such cases. The only provision which deals with some kind of limitation on the question of delay or the complaint being raised is Rule 18 of the Teachers Employment Rules 2006. The said rule talks in terms of adjudication of the dispute within thirty days and in no manner lays down that complaint has to be filed within thirty days. In that view of the matter obviously the finding that 15 days time has been prescribed for filing a complaint before the Block Development Officer is erroneous per say. 2 Annexure-6 dated 24.8.2009 is quashed. The matter is remitted back to the appellate authority for fresh consideration on merits after hearing the parties. The writ application is allowed. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
