Respondents ----------- 2. 18/07/2011 Case of the petitioner is that inspite of being at the top in the merit list, he was not appointed as Shiksha Mitra in 2005. Hence, he filed objection before the Collector in 2006 itself. He also filed his complaint before the Commissioner. From Annexure-4 it appears that the matter was enquired into and the Block Education Extension Officer found the case of the petitioner as genuine as late as in April, 2007. However, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, till now no final orders have been passed in the matter. 2 Now that statutory Appellate Authority has been constituted under the Rules to consider the grievances of the aggrieved candidates in respect of engagement of Panchayat Teachers and the same has been empowered also to consider the grievances of the aggrieved persons in respect of their engagement or otherwise as Shiksha Mitra, it would be appropriate for the authorities to refer the pending matters of the petitioner to the concerned Appellate Authority for early decision. In the circumstances, respondents Government officials are directed to refer the matter of the petitioner to the concerned Appellate Authority within four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Upon such reference, the Appellate Authority shall issue notice to the concerned parties, call for the original records and after hearing them, take final decision in the matter, preferably within the time limit fixed for consideration of such matters under the Rules. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
